Dear God,

Thank You for this day.

Thank You for my safety

And the safety of my loved ones.

As I enter sleep, may these hours

Give me peace.

May they bring healing

To my mind and body.

While I sleep, dear Lord,

Please bless the world.

Where there is pain,

Where there are people

Who have no place to sleep;

Who suffer and who die,

May Your angels come unto them

And minister to their hearts.

Dear Lord,

Please let the light stream in.

Please use my hours of sleep.

Please prepare me,

During these hours of rest,

For greater service to You.

May the light that surrounds me,

Tomorrow shine through me.

Soften my heart.

Thank you, Lord.

Amen.
