Prayer For Sleep: Seeking God's Calm, Peace And Protection During The Night
Avinu Malkeinu, our Father and King,
As I prepare to rest, I come before You in the precious and powerful name of Yeshua, seeking Your presence and peace. HaShem, You are the Creator of all things, the One who gives us rest and renewal. Your Word says in Psalm 4:8, "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety."
Heavenly Father, I thank You for this day and for the countless blessings You have bestowed upon me. As I lay down to sleep, I ask for Your protection and peace to surround me. Shield me with the blood of Yeshua, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Your Word reminds me in Revelation 12:11, "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death." Let the shield of Yeshua's blood cover me, keeping me safe from all harm and evil.
HaShem, You are the God of all comfort. I ask that You comfort my heart and mind tonight. Your Word in Isaiah 26:3 says, "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You." Help me to trust in You completely, knowing that You are in control and that Your plans for me are good.
Adonai, let the fire of Your Holy Spirit burn within me, purifying my thoughts and removing any anxiety, fear, or worry that might keep me awake. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Ignite a passion in my heart to seek You first and to trust in Your unfailing love.
Father, I pray for Your angels to encamp around me and protect me through the night. As it is written in Psalm 91:11, "For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways." I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgment I shall condemn, as it says in Isaiah 54:17.
Lord, as I reflect on Your Word, I am reminded of Your promise in Psalm 127:2, "In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for He grants sleep to those He loves." I claim this promise tonight, believing that You love me and that You will grant me restful sleep.
Abba, I ask that You cleanse my heart and mind of any sin or transgression. Your Word in 1 John 1:9 assures me, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." I confess my sins before You and ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing.
I lift up my praises to You, HaShem, for You are worthy of all glory and honor. Let my life be a testimony of Your goodness and faithfulness. May every breath I take and every action I perform glorify Your holy name. As Yeshua prayed in John 17:1, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You."
Father, I pray for peaceful dreams and a rejuvenated spirit as I sleep. Let my subconscious mind be filled with Your truth and love, and let my dreams be guided by Your Holy Spirit. Your Word in Joel 2:28 says, "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." I open my heart to receive Your revelations and guidance even as I sleep.
I trust in Your promise in Psalm 3:5, "I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me." Sustain me, O Lord, through this night and into the new day. Refresh my body, mind, and spirit so that I may serve You with renewed strength and vigor.
Thank You, HaShem, for hearing my prayer. I rest in Your love and care, knowing that You are with me always. May Your name be glorified in all that I do and say.
In the mighty name of Yeshua, our Messiah, I pray. Amen.
