Prayers for Sleep
For bedtime, restless rooms, and the unfinished day you need to hand back to God.

A Prayer At Bedtime
God of peace, I give you the day I cannot fix tonight.
Receive what I finished and what I left undone.
Let my body remember that I am not the keeper of the world.
Give me rest under your care.
Amen.
Scripture to Carry
Psalm 4:8, Psalm 127:2, and Matthew 11:28 make rest an act of trust rather than escape.
Use This Prayer When
- You are tired but still wired.
- The day feels unfinished.
- You need a gentle way to stop striving.
