Prayer for Deep Restful Sleep
Struggling to fall asleep because your mind won’t slow down? A heartfelt prayer for deep restful sleep can help quiet anxious thoughts, release the weight of the day, and invite God’s peace into your night.
Why Prayer Before Bed Matters
Many people lie awake replaying conversations, worrying about tomorrow, or carrying emotional stress into the night. Saying a short prayer before bed helps you spiritually transition from striving to resting.
Prayer before sleep is an act of trust. It tells God, “I’ve done what I can today. Now I place everything in Your hands.” When your spirit rests, your body often follows.
