Prayer for Sleep Heavenly Father,

As I lay down to rest tonight,

I release the weight of the day into your hands.

Calm my thoughts,

Quiet my heart,

And cover me with your peace.

Let your presence surround me like a soft blanket,

Stilling every worry,

Softening every burden,

And reminding me that I am safe in you.

Forgive me for anything I carry too heavily today,

And help me to trust you with all that is left undone.

I don't need all the answers tonight,

I just need to know you're near.

Thank you for watching over me while I sleep.

Thank you that I can rest,

Because you never do.

May my body relax,

My mind be at ease,

And my soul find deep rest in your love.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.
