Bedtime Prayer for When You Need a Reset
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 when you need a reset before you hit the hay.
Prayer:
Lord, I long for those moments early in my faith when I felt Your closeness, Your joy, Your energy and zest for life.
I confess that the daily grind has ground down my passion for You.
I confess that I allow the cares of the world to choke out the joy of the gospel.
Lord, turn my heart toward You again. Fix my eyes on You, fix my heart on You.
Help me have a reset in my faith and in my life, starting today.
Renew my heart, renew my life for You and Your ways.
Help me see the daily routines of life as moments to gracefully submit to Your will.
Thank You for being the Lord of my life everyday. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
