Hey y'all,
Let's release this day together.
We are going to release it all,
Whatever it held,
Whether joyful or heavy,
And make space for peace to fill our hearts.
This time is just for us to relax and release.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position,
However you like to pray,
Sitting down,
Lying down,
On your knees,
Whatever is most comfortable and accessible for your body.
Close your eyes,
And let's take a deep breath in,
Breathing through our nose,
Letting your belly rise,
And now slowly breathe out through your mouth,
Releasing all the tension of the day.
Let's do that again,
Breathing in,
Let's hold that breath,
Now let's let it go.
Let's breathe in,
Hold our breath,
And let it go.
I want you to take a moment to reflect on your day.
It doesn't have to be in a lot of detail,
Or it can be in a lot of detail if you want,
But I just want you to scan through your memories,
And if there was something that made you smile,
That made you feel seen,
That made you feel less alone,
I want you to think about that thing.
Hold that memory,
And let's have some gratitude for that moment,
That moment in time.
Now if there are things lingering from today,
Any tasks you didn't finish,
Or conversations that you didn't have,
Or conversations that you did have,
That felt heavy,
That still feel heavy in your body,
I want you to acknowledge them.
Whether it's one thing that pops up that felt a little uncomfortable,
Or five,
I want you to just say to each one,
I see you,
And I will sit you down tonight,
And tomorrow I will give you my attention.
God,
I come to you at the end of this day,
I bring you all of it.
The things I did,
The things that I did not do,
The moments I'm proud of,
The moments I wish that I could take back,
I give it all to you now,
And I ask for your peace,
Your peace that passes all understanding to settle within me.
May I go to sleep tonight knowing that you have worked out any problems already that might pop up tomorrow.
I pray that your peace fills every corner,
Every muscle,
Every cell,
Every atom in my body.
I pray that your grace covers me tonight like the softest,
Most gentle,
Most warm,
Most gentle,
Most warm blanket.
May you only allow good dreams to enter my mind.
I pray against all nightmares.
I pray against all spirits,
Energies,
Entities,
Bad vibrations,
Against anything that would try and come and stop me from resting,
Because I know I'm at my best when I'm rested.
I know I'm at my best when I am grounded after a full night's sleep.
I pray against anything,
Any spiritual attacks,
Any doubts or beliefs,
Outgoing worries,
Incoming worries,
Any phone calls,
Any stressors,
Anything that would try and come and prevent me from resting tonight.
I release all my worries.
I release all my regrets to you.
I release all my dreams and my hopes in trust,
In faith that they'll be returned to me.
May you help me to let go of perfection tonight.
Sometimes I think about all the mistakes I made or the mistakes I don't want to make.
Sometimes I think about futures where I might make a mistake.
There's just so many things that run through my mind that want to keep me up at night.
I pray against all weapons,
All devices that would stop me from resting and sleeping easy,
Even ones that I might form against myself intentionally or unintentionally.
May peace fill my heart,
My mind,
My body,
My soul,
And may I rest deeply knowing that I am enough as I am,
A reflection of you,
God,
A beautiful creation of yours,
Someone called,
Someone chosen.
May I release today knowing that whatever I face is not the end,
That you have the final say-so in my life and that you favor me.
May I remember that I am loved.
May I remember that I am protected.
May I remember that I am seen about by you and by so many people in my life that love me.
May you clear out those who don't serve me any good.
May you clear out those who secretly wish me harm.
Remove them,
Lord,
Without drama,
Without fuss,
Without anything that is too much.
Just gently remove those who no longer serve the purpose of my elevation,
The purpose of me being a clear reflection of you in this world,
For the purpose of being made in your image by being authentic.
May you remove those people who don't encourage my authenticity,
But encourage my insecurity.
May you remove me from those situations that keep me small.
May you remove me from any jobs that keep me small.
But when you remove me,
May you quickly and immediately remove me into a better situation.
May you immediately move me into a brighter situation,
A healthier situation,
A more loving,
A more kind,
A more patient situation.
Situations that do not envy.
Situations that do not boast.
Situations that make you proud,
That make me proud,
That would make my kids proud.
Situations that I would wish on angelic beings.
Situations that I would wish on the Savior known as Jesus Christ.
God,
I love you so much,
And I pray that you take these burdens off of me.
I pray that even the things that I don't know how to release,
That you would somehow do it for me.
Thank you for this day.
Thank you for this moment.
I pray for protection over my family.
I pray for protection over my friends,
Over my dreams,
Over my plans.
And most importantly tonight,
I pray for protection over my rest.
May I go forth in the rest of this evening relaxing,
Releasing,
Enjoying the company of myself,
My family,
Whoever it is that I am around.
May I release today and move forward into a night of pleasure,
Of peace,
Of joy.
I thank you God.
I thank you for the beauty that comes with tomorrow and the brand new mercies that come with tomorrow.
I pray all of these things in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
And you can pray these things in the name of the Lord.
That's just what I pray too.
Alright,
I love y'all.
