Bedtime Prayer (Inspired by Genesis 1:17)
Genesis 1:17 – “God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.”
Heavenly Father,
As I come before You tonight, I am reminded of the beauty of Your creation. Just as You placed the sun, moon, and stars in the sky to give light to the earth, You have placed Your presence in my life to guide and comfort me. No matter how dark the night may seem, I know that Your light shines through, bringing peace and hope.
Lord, I thank You for this day—the blessings, the lessons, and even the challenges. I surrender all that is on my heart to You. If I have any worries or burdens, I lay them at Your feet, trusting that You are in control. Help me to rest in the assurance that You are always watching over me.
As I sleep tonight, surround me with Your protection. Let no harm come near me or my loved ones. Just as the stars shine in the sky without fail, let Your peace fill my home and my heart. May my rest be deep and renewing, so that I wake up refreshed and ready to walk in Your purpose.
Father, I ask that You continue to guide me in my journey. Let my life reflect Your light, so that I may be a source of love, kindness, and encouragement to those around me. Strengthen my faith, fill me with Your wisdom, and help me to trust in Your perfect plan.
Thank You for Your constant presence, for the light You shine into my life, and for the peace that only You can give. I rest tonight knowing that I am safe in Your hands.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
