Bedtime Prayer (Inspired by Genesis 1:21)
Genesis 1:21 – “So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.”
Heavenly Father,
As I come to You tonight, I thank You for the beauty of Your creation. You made the great creatures of the sea and every living being, filling the earth with life. Just as You cared for them, I know You care for me. You see me, You know me, and You love me deeply.
Lord, as I lay down to sleep, I surrender all my thoughts, worries, and burdens to You. Let my heart be at peace, knowing that You are in control. Just as You sustain all life, I trust that You are taking care of me and my loved ones. Fill me with Your presence, and let my soul find true rest in You.
Tonight, I ask for Your protection. Guard my home, my family, and everyone I love. Let no harm come near us, and let Your angels stand watch over us. Breathe peace into my heart, remove any fears, and replace them with faith and trust in You.
Father, as I sleep, renew my strength. Let my body be refreshed, my mind be restored, and my spirit be strengthened. May I wake up with joy, ready to embrace the new day that You have made. Help me to live with gratitude, kindness, and a heart that reflects Your love.
Thank You for Your endless care, Your constant provision, and Your unfailing love. I place myself in Your hands and rest in the peace that only You can give.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
