Prayer Before Sleep

Dear God, as I lay me down to sleep,

relax the tension of my body;

calm the restlessness of my mind;

still the thoughts which worry and perplex me.

Help me to rest myself and all my problems in your strong and loving arms.

Let your Spirit speak to my mind and heart while I am

asleep, so that, when I wake up in the morning,

I may find that I have received in the night-time,

light for my way;

strength for my tasks;

peace for my worries;

forgiveness for my sins.

Grant me sleep tonight, and tomorrow power to live.

Dear God,

Thank you for protecting us throughout the day.

Forgive us for the wrong things we do.

Thank you for loving us even when we disobey or try to do things our way.

Help us to always choose your way, God, because it's always best.

We pray for all the people who don't know you, and that they will come to understand your love for them, too.

Bless our family and thank you for good times together and apart.

Bless our friends and those we love, including our grandparents, our aunts and uncles and cousins. Thank you for our home and a place to sleep and good food to eat. Help us rest well, give us peaceful dreams, and send your angels around our home to protect us throughout the night.

Sleeping Prayer

I am placing my soul and my body in your sanctuary this night, O God,

in your sanctuary, O Jesus Christ,

in your sanctuary, O Spirit of perfect truth,

the Three who would defend my cause, nor turn their backs on me.

Father, who is kind and just,

Son, who overcame death,

Holy Spirit of power, keep me this night from harm,

the Three who would justify me, keep me this night and always.

- Carmina Gadelica, Hymns, and Incantations...

At the End of a Disappointing Day

Lord, thank You for working in my life, even in ways that look like failure.

Help me keep my eyes on You and not on my situation.

Help me trust You more, especially when I face what looks like a disappointment.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen.

- Glynnis Whitwer

now and forever and unto the ages of ages.

Amen.
