Bedtime Prayer to Express Your Gratitude
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 for a moment of gratitude before you hit the hay.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
My day is drawing to an end, and I'm ready to turn in.
But before I do, I have to thank You for Your faithfulness today.
It's always a good day, even when things may not go the way I plan, or when the world seems in chaos because You are in control.
For all the times when I was aware of Your help today, all the times when your unseen presence seemed so near, thank You, God.
But for all the ways you worked behind the scenes, unknown to me, moments when heaven-sent angels moved on my behalf in ways I'll never know, thank You for those also, Lord. Amen.
