As I lay my head down on the pillow, this Tuesday evening, I am reminded of all your provisions today. I praise you for your sovereignty and goodness to me. I can lie here in peace because of who you are.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8 ESV)
Lord, you know that sometimes my mind seems to be extra active when I lay down to sleep. I think of the day’s activities, the worries of tomorrow, and even pointless things. I pray that you quiet my mind tonight. Help me to simply lay all my burdens on you and trust you for tomorrow.
You, God, are my shepherd and I have no needs besides you. Help me on this Tuesday night to lie down in your wealth of provision. Thank you for restoring me each night with this sleep. I pray that as I rise in the morning that I live in the paths you have called me to.
Forgive me for the moments in my day when I rebelled against you. For the times I chose selfishly instead of the paths you have called me to. As we live in this fallen world help me to not fear the evil one because you have already defeated him.
I look forward to the tomorrow knowing I will be walking with you and all your goodness and mercy will be with me. Help me now to rest. I pray all of this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
