A Prayer Before I Close My Eyes

Father God,

As I lay down tonight, I come to You just as I am — tired, grateful, overwhelmed, hopeful… all of it.

Thank You for carrying me through today.
Even the moments I didn’t notice You were holding me, You were there.

Forgive me for the words I shouldn’t have said,
the worries I held onto too tightly,
the doubts that crept in.

I release this day into Your hands.

The things I handled well — they were because of You.
The things I didn’t — I give those to You too.

Calm my thoughts.
Slow my breathing.
Quiet the noise inside my heart.

Cover my home in peace tonight.
Protect the ones I love.
Guard our minds and our rest.

If tomorrow brings joy, prepare my heart to be grateful.
If tomorrow brings challenges, prepare my heart to trust.

Remind me that I am never alone.
Remind me that You are near.
Remind me that Your mercies are new in the morning.

I rest in You now.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
