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. Teach us to trust you and to love you more and more. You are good; you are great; and you are faithful, God.
Watch over me as I sleep
The Lord watches over you – the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.” God, I thank You that You watch over me now, and I thank You that You will watch over me tonight as I sleep. I praise You for Your faithfulness and Your goodness.
Bedtime Prayer
I pray that you would forgive the sins I have committed today and that you would keep me safe throughout the night. I commit my whole self, mind, body, and soul to you. Watch over me as I sleep, protect me from evil, and equip me with the strength I need for tomorrow. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
Lord, I lay down in my bed full of hope for tomorrow because you alone, O Lord, sustain me. Although life is full of challenges, I choose to believe and trust in you. I surrender all of me to you tonight, and I choose to rest in the warmth of your embrace, knowing that you are an ever-present help in time of need.
6 of 7 Psalm 4:8
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O Lord make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4. “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Fall asleep to the comforting promise of Psalm 4, as you name and lay your worries down at God's feet—one by one. Hand your stress over to Jesus tonight, as he instructs us to, and meditate on this good night Bible verse.
A Bedtime Prayer for Good Rest (Psalm 4)
Father, please give me relief from these sleepless nights. I am so tired. In your mercy, please give me the gift of restful sleep. You have filled my heart with joy, more joy than all the riches in the world could bring.
These three powerful morning prayers are the prayers of thanksgiving, the Lord's Prayer, and the prayer of Jabez. Jesus taught his disciples how to pray, the Bible tells us to enter his gates with thanksgiving, and Jabez prayed to God and God granted him his request.
“Father in heaven, I stand before You today in Your omnipotent presence to ask that You grant me strength. I want You to give me the strength to power through all of the tasks today — whether little or big. It is by Your will that I live oh Lord.
Goodnight prayer for family
Dear Lord, watch over my family as they sleep tonight. May You guide and protect them all through their journeys in life. Even the shortest journey will be of peace for You. I pray that the night is peaceful and calm for them.
A Morning Prayer for God's Presence
Lord, may nothing separate me from You today. Teach me how to choose only Your way today so each step will lead me closer to You. Help me walk by the Word and not my feelings. Help me to keep my heart pure and undivided.
God who never slumbers, but created me with limits and a need for rest, please let me sleep! Fill my mind and heart with peace. Remove distractions and pressures that are keeping me awake.
Loving God, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled heart. My soul is like a turbulent sea. I can't seem to find my balance so I stumble and worry constantly. Give me the strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose and walk the path you've laid out for me.
“Dear God, please give me strength when I am weak, love when I feel forsaken, courage when I am afraid, wisdom when I feel foolish, comfort when I am alone, hope when I feel rejected, and peace when I am in turmoil. Amen.” “O Lord, we are at the limits of our power to help. For what we have left undone, forgive us.
The most common prayer among Christians is the "Lord's Prayer", which according to the gospel accounts (e.g. Matthew 6:9-13) is how Jesus taught his disciples to pray.
- "Help me to be kind and patient." - "Guide me with your wisdom." - "Fill me with joy and gratitude." These short prayers are a great way to take a few moments each day to give thanks to God for everything in our life.
The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13): “'Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.
It is called the "Jesus Prayer", and it consists simply in uttering the single word "Jesus" (or "Lord Jesus", or "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner") in any situation, at any time and place, either aloud or silently.
Dear Lord, I surrender my will, my plan and my ways to you and ask that you be my Lord and take full control of my life this day, amen. 2.) Heavenly Father, keep me in perfect peace and keep me from sinning against you today. Grant me the power to resist evil and temptation in Jesus name, amen.
Prayer: Lord, spread your protection over my family. Guide them and keep them, and help them to trust in you each day. Be with my family as they go about their daily lives. Cover them with your protection, and guard their going out and they're coming in, both now and forevermore (Psalm 121: 8).
Morning Prayer
Jesus, you say that you came to bring us life, and life to the full. Through your death and resurrection, you brought hope to life. You gave us access to heaven and the limitless goodness and wisdom of the Father. Give me the desire today to seek you and teach me to value you above anything else.
Thank You, Lord, for Your enduring love and for the assurance that You are always with me, providing the strength I need to overcome every temptation. Please continue to guide and protect me, as I strive to walk in Your ways and fulfill Your purpose for my life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
