A Prayer for Blessed Sleep
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Your loving vigil,Lord, I keep.
I close my eyes,but You stay near,
To quiet every doubt and fear.
Lord, bless my sleep.
Guard my mind from anxious thought,
With battles that the day has brought.
Let every worry,every care,
Dissolve away in whispered prayer.
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” (Psalm 4:8)
Renew my body, strength restore,
For all the challenges of tomorrow's door.
As silence falls and darkness deeps,
Please give Your gift of peaceful sleep.
Let angels camp about my bed,
By Your protecting power,I'm led.
“He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber.”(Psalm 121:3)
And if in dreams my spirit roams,
Still guide me,Lord, and bring me home.
To wake again at morning's light,
Refreshed and trusting in Your might.
Lord, bless my sleep.
Hold me through the night.
And greet me with new mercies at the dawn's first light.
In the name of Jesus, my Rest and Peace,
Amen.
