Prayer for “Sweet Sleep”
“My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, . . . when you lie down, you will not be afraid, when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.” Proverbs 3:21, 24
“The sleep of a laborer is sweet . . .” Ecclesiastes 5:12
“You will keep in perfect peace, him whose mind is stayed (steadfast) on You, because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3
“Lord, Your Word declares that those whose minds are stayed upon You, shall have perfect peace. I thank you for peace tonight while I sleep, knowing that by the stripes of Jesus Christ, I am healed. In the morning, I expect to feel refreshed and ready to accomplish your will for my life, throughout the day. I rest in total confidence in You and Your Word – that even while I sleep, my spirit is receptive to Your Spirit, so that I am filled and restored, as a vessel to be used by You! In Jesus name, Amen.”
