Praying Scripture— Bedtime Peacefulness

Scripture

“I will lie down and sleep peacefully, for you, Lord, make me safe and secure.”

Psalm 4— NET

And

“He will command His heavenly messengers to guard you, to keep you safe in every way.”

Psalm 91:11— VOICE

And

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7— NLT

Philippians 4:6-7— NLT

Pray

Dear Father, my day is done, and it’s time to rest. My thoughts dart aimlessly, and my body is restless. I need help with {{insert need here}}. I pray that you wash over me with your peaceful slumber. The peace that only you can give lifts my troubles and soothes my soul. Thank you for guarding my heart, quieting my mind and keeping me safe and sound.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen

Drop Me A Line
Because you cannot reach the depth, breadth, length, or height of Him. But one thing you can count on: when you get down into the no-light-left, deep-sea parts of God? He will meet you there, rejoicing over you with gladness, quieting you with His knowledge-surpassing love, and rejoicing over you with deep-sea singing."— Jane Johnson.
