Welcome to this abide sleep prayer.

A short, peaceful prayer to end the day and be still in God's love and personal protection.

Tonight, may you sense the nearness of God and feel yourself wrapped in God's loving arms.

May you be comforted by his presence, confident in his protection, and calmed by his peace.

Here is a benediction the Apostle Paul prayed over the church in Thessalonica.

Tonight let me pray it over you.

Now may the Lord of Peace himself give you peace at all times in every way.

The Lord be with you all.

God, thank you for being with us. Thank you for sending your son Jesus to be our peace,

our prince of peace, and to reconcile us to you. Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to be our comforter.

God, we are so grateful that you have promised never to leave or forsake us.

Thank you for your presence and your promises. Your eyes, God, are on those who fear you, on those who hope in your

steadfast love. You are our help and shield. You make our hearts glad.

And so we put our hope in you.

We trust that you will bless and protect your child as they rest tonight.

We trust that your steadfast love will guard and encircle your child.

Help this beloved person surrender to you.

Help them release every worry, every anxious thought, every item on the to-do list.

Help them to confess any sins and to receive your forgiveness.

Help them let go and trust that you are holding them,
