Dear Lord, You were the one that made the moon and the stars to shine by night and gave us the beautiful hours of the night in which to replenish our strength, repair our bodies and refresh our soul.

Help me I pray to take advantage of this God-given time, when the weariness of the day gives way to a peaceful night’s sleep and the general renewal of our of minds.

Help me I pray to get to bed at a wise time and not to retire to bed too late. Help me to use this time to full advantage and not to sit up into the small hours of the morning, but gain full benefit of a complete nights rest, so that I may wake refreshed and get up early – to Your praise and glory.

Help me I pray to get to bed at a good time and this I ask in Jesus name,

Amen

Help for Sleep
Dear Lord I am finding it so difficult to sleep. My mind will not be quieted and I seem to spend the whole night thinking tossing and turning as the worries of life are churning in my heart.

You have promised to restore my soul– Lord as my good Shepherd I need those green pastures, I pray that You will guide me into calmer pastures.

Help me lie down in peace and to rest in Your arms of love - for You alone, O Lord, will help me to sleep in safety.
