Praying before we go to bed helps us lay down our worries and cares. Here are two suggested prayers from iBelieve.com.
Here’s the first suggestion….
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” from 1 Peter 5:7
Dear God,
We come before you and we thank you for this day and all that it’s brought our way, the good things and the hard things too. Sometimes after a full day with pressures and stress, our hearts feel heavy with all we’re still carrying. Thank you that within it all, you’ve reminded us again how much you love us and are always with us. We pray that you would help us to leave all our cares and worries with you right now. May your power and rest fill us fresh. May the presence of your Spirit breathe hope deep into our souls, even as we sleep.
And Pray God would bring you His perfect peace from (Philippians 4:6-7)
We thank you, Father God, for your word that reminds us you never sleep or slumber. You are always watching out for us and your great care is constantly covering our home and family. We ask for your mighty power to surround us. We ask for you to take away any fears or anxious thoughts tonight, and that you would bring your perfect peace, the peace that goes far beyond our own understanding, to guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. We lay our burdens before you, every single one, for we know they’re much safer in your hands than our own.
