A prayer for you

Prayer for Sleep

For receiving rest as a gift rather than striving for it.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
Psalm 127:2 (WEBBE)

Lord, I am asking simply for sleep tonight. Your word says that You give sleep to those You love, that I do not have to earn my rest by striving; so I stop striving now and receive it as a gift. Quiet my body and my mind. Loosen the grip of the day's tension and tomorrow's worries, neither of which I can fix by lying here awake. Thank You that rest is something You delight to give. Help me trust You with everything I am tempted to keep turning over, and let me sink into deep, restoring sleep. Give Your beloved sleep tonight, Lord. Amen.
