Ending your day with prayer is a wonderful way to let go of stress and find peace before falling asleep while also connecting to God. Wake up with God, but also end your day with God in prayer. Prayer allows you to reflect on your day and express gratitude and appreciation for your life.
Those of us who lead busy lives often find that when the day is over, we’re exhausted. Because of this fatigue, it can be hard for us to remember our nightly prayers. However, it’s through praying every night that you have the chance to feel loved and protected by God while you sleep. On this page you’ll find various powerful evening prayers for you and family to keep you close and safe.
Thank you God, for this day,
Thank you for our family.
We’re sorry for the things we did that didn’t make you happy.
Help us to be better people, help us love each other.
Help us honor you, our Father.
Bless the people of the world.
Bless our loved ones, far and near.
Finally, we lift up to You
This request for You to hear:
(Insert any special intention)
We love You, Lord.

Almighty God, I can’t sleep. I’m tossing and turning again. I’m so thankful You never grow weary, and You never sleep. I’m thankful that You are here with me right now, even when my mind won’t stop churning, and my head won’t stop spinning. I need You, Good Shepherd, because counting sheep doesn’t work. Would you comfort my heart, as only You can? Will You rescue me from my own spiral of thoughts? For I know that when I trust in You, peace like a river overflows my soul, and I can praise You in advance for sweet rest. Amen.
Praise Your holy name Heavenly Father, for granting yet another day in my life and for being with me every step of the way. Thank You for the many blessings that You have provided and the love and fellowship that I have with the friends and family that in Your grace You have placed in my life.
My heart is so thankful for all the many blessings that I enjoy day by day, and today I am once again reminded that Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
Thank You, that I have been brought into Your family and have been made a child of God and a citizen of heaven. Words cannot express my love and devotion to You Lord
I pray that You would watch over me as I rest tonight, and that You would give me a restful nights sleep so that I may wake up in the morning refreshed in body and spirit and ready to do Your will. Guard all those that I love and may we all grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in the days that lie ahead. This I ask in His precious name,
Amen.
O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in your mercy, grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amen.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
Watch and guard me through the night,
and wake me with the morning light.
For God’s not given me a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, and of power, and a sound mind, to live each day and glorify his name. — 2 Timothy 1:7
Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice! — Psalm 141:2 ESV
Lord, we know that your word reminds us over and over that we do not have to fear. We know that you are with us and your protection and Presence and powerful. We ask for that you would cover us and remind us that you have stationed your angels around us to guard us in all our ways. Thank you that you never sleep or slumber, you are constantly watching over us, constantly aware, so we can get some sleep. We choose faith over fear right now and ask that you would surround us with your peace. — Debbie McDaniel
Lord of Hosts, Gracious Father, and Protector of mankind, I pray to You today for safety and protection. Knowing Your promise to keep us from harm, I believe and trust that my family and myself are safe in Your protective arms.
Dear God, as I lay me down to sleep,
relax the tension of my body;
calm the restlessness of my mind;
still the thoughts which worry and perplex me.
Help me to rest myself and all my problems in your strong and loving arms.
Let your Spirit speak to my mind and heart while I am
asleep, so that, when I wake up in the morning,
I may find that I have received in the night-time,
light for my way;
strength for my tasks;
peace for my worries;
forgiveness for my sins.
Grant me sleep tonight, and tomorrow power to live.
Heavenly Father, My prayer this evening is…I adore You and thank you for all the graces You have given me this day.
I offer You my sleep, my dreams, and all the moments of this night.
I pray that you give me rest so that I may wake to Your holy face.
Please pour out Your blessings upon me, for You are the answer to all things, and You alone. Amen.
