As the day comes to a close, the world grows quieter — but the heart often grows louder. Thoughts replay, worries resurface, and rest can feel distant. This moment before sleep is sacred. It is where God invites you to let go.
Peace does not mean everything is resolved. It means you are no longer carrying everything alone. God does not ask you to fix tomorrow tonight. He asks you to rest in His presence now.
Whatever remains unfinished today can be trusted into His care. Whatever feels heavy does not need to follow you into sleep. Grace is already waiting for you in the morning.
Before you close your eyes, take a slow breath. Release the need to control, to solve, to understand. God is at work even while you rest. Your sleep is not wasted time — it is sacred restoration.
A Night Prayer
Dear God,
Thank You for carrying me through this day.
I release every worry, every burden, and every unanswered question into Your hands.
Quiet my heart and calm my mind as I prepare to rest.
Cover me with Your peace tonight.
Let my sleep be gentle and restoring.
I trust You with tomorrow.
Amen.
