Bedtime Prayer After a Difficult Day
Even if you start off your day with a cup of coffee and a meaningful morning prayer, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the chaos and stress of your daily routine. By the time you return home at the end of the day, it's possible you totally forgot the intentions you set for yourself upon waking, which is why it can be helpful to say a night prayer to God before you go to sleep. Whether you're looking to ease your mind, erase your worries, or find the strength to finish out your week, the best night prayers will help you end your day on a high note, no matter where the day's events might have taken you.
Jesus knows exactly what you need, at the exact moment you need it. That's why you should use your evening prayers as a way to give thanks to him — especially if it happened to slip your mind earlier in the day. Before you know it, reciting goodnight prayers will become a nightly routine, and you’ll be able to fall asleep knowing you aren't alone.
For the sweetest of dreams, try saying this night prayer After a difficult day before you hit the hay.
Prayer:
Father,
I can barely lift my eyes to You.
It's all I can do to cry out for help.
Please extend Your grace to me this day.
Help me to see that You are in this and that You are with me.
Help me to remember that You are not surprised or taken off guard by the events of this day.
Forgive me for my fears about this day.
Forgive me for forgetting that You are with me.
Forgive me for how I have complained and muttered about how hard this day has been.
Forgive me for forgetting who I am because of what Your Son, Jesus Christ, has done.
Forgive me for failing to remember the glorious truths and riches I have because of the gospel.
Father, hear my prayer.
Grant me gospel hope in the midst of this hard day.
Help me to cling to Your grace, Your wisdom, and Your strength. Amen.
