Short Powerful Night Prayers to End Your Day With
I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. I also believe that getting a good night’s sleep is essential to living your best life and being able to handle all that life throws at you. So what happens when you combine these two beliefs? You get powerful prayers that are designed to help you fall asleep quickly while feeling better than ever before!
Lord, thank you for the gift of sleep and a new day.
Thank God for the gift of sleep and a new day.
At night, as you lay down to close your eyes and rest, thank God for all that he has given you. Thank him for the beautiful gift of sleep, which has allowed you to rest your body and mind from the stresses of the day. Praise him for a new morning and another chance to live out his will in your life. Ask him to continue giving strength and peace until the next evening comes around again.
Then go ahead—sleep well!
You can use one of these prayers as inspiration or create your own personalized prayer using this format: “Thank You (God), because ______.”
Dear God, I know You see all my worries. Help me give them over to You, knowing that You are always with me
- Dear God, I know You see all my worries. Help me give them over to You, knowing that You are always with me.
- I don’t have to control everything that happens to me, but I can control how I react. It’s okay to feel worried about something, but don’t let it paralyze you. Ask for strength from above so you can let go of your worries and turn them into prayers instead of letting them take up space in your head and heart. Be grateful for what you have and remember that while we all experience trials in life—those little potholes on the road of life—the important thing is how we respond to those things when they come along.*
Dear God, I am tired and overwhelmed. Give me strength to face my challenges.
Dear God,
I am tired and overwhelmed. As I go to sleep tonight, I want to thank you for all that you have done for me. But Lord, I need your strength now more than ever before. You know my life is a mess and I am going through some hard times. You know what it feels like to be down on your luck in this world, so please help me find the inner strength within myself to get through these challenges. Give me the courage and faith in myself so that nothing can stop me from achieving my goals in life! In your name Jesus Christ Amen!
Lord Jesus, I ask that you heal my body and restore me to health.
You are the healer of all things, and as your child, I believe that you will heal me now. Fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I may be a blessing to others as you have blessed me through your healing power. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
Abba Father, thank you for loving me in spite of myself. Bless me with a restful sleep tonight.
This prayer is simple and powerful because it shows us how to end our day by acknowledging that God loves us despite all of the things we have done wrong and will do wrong during our lives. Whenever we fall short or make mistakes, God still loves and accepts us just as we are right now at this very moment.
While it’s important to talk about God’s love for us, it’s also important to remember that this same God expects us to be obedient to Him and follow His commands (Hebrews 5:9). So when we ask him to give us restful sleep tonight, we’re also asking Him to help keep our minds free from worry so that tomorrow morning won’t be ruined by tossing and turning through a sleepless night!
Lord, help me receive Your grace and peace during this time of rest. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
Grace and peace are gifts from God—are you receiving them? Grace is the gift of God’s unmerited favor, while peace is the gift of harmony between you and God. You can ask for these blessings by simply asking for them, or you can pray for them to be given to others as well as yourself (Philippians 4:6-7).
Lord Jesus, please forgive my sins and those of my family members and friends whom I love.
Lord Jesus, please forgive my sins and those of my family members and friends whom I love. Forgive me for the thoughts that I have had in my mind; forgive me for the words that I have spoken; and forgive me for any actions that I have taken against you, as well as any sins committed by others who are dear to me.
Lord, we know that there is no other way to heaven than through Jesus Christ alone. But one thing we don’t often think about is how many things can keep us from going there: our own sinfulness, temptations in our lives (like anger or lust), Satan’s attacks on us—and even our own ignorance of what God has done for us through Christ! We want so much to be good Christians but sometimes fall short of what we should do because we fail to realize just how great God’s love is towards us. He wants only the best for each one of His children here on earth—but He also knows all too well what a mess we get ourselves into sometimes…
Heavenly Father, I come to You now in need of Your healing hand in my life
Take a moment to pray for healing. What is God doing in your life? Has He healed you from an illness, or helped you overcome an addiction? Pray that He will continue to heal and comfort you through the day.
Ask for protection from evil spirits and people who wish to harm you or your family. Praise God for His protection over those who serve him, so that no evil may befall them (Psalm 91:10-12).
Praise God for all of his blessings on your life so far today, and ask him not just to continue them but to multiply them even more!
