Heavenly Father,

I come to you tonight with a heart that longs for rest.

I lay down the worries of this day,

The burdens I've carried,

And the thoughts swirling in my mind.

You are my refuge,

My place of peace.

Let your presence surround me now,

Like a warm blanket wrapped around my soul.

Lord,

I thank you for the gift of this day,

For the moments of joy,

For the lessons learned,

Even for the challenges shaped me.

I surrender them all to you now,

Knowing you hold every detail in your hands.

You never sleep or slumber,

So I can rest in the safety of your care.

Calm my mind,

Lord.

Quiet the racing thoughts,

The what-ifs and the worries about tomorrow.

Replace them with your perfect peace.

Fill this room with your presence.

Let every corner be filled with your love and protection.

I invite you,

Holy Spirit,

To guard my heart and my dreams tonight.

If I wake in the night,

Remind me you are near.

If anxious thoughts rise up,

Help me to breathe deeply and rest in the truth of your promises.

You are my shepherd,

And under your watchful eye,

I can sleep without fear.

Thank you,

Lord,

That your mercies are new every morning.

Thank you that when I wake,

I will rise in your strength,

Ready for the day ahead.

For now,

I let go.

I rest in you.

I trust you with all that I am,

And I give this night into your hands.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

You
