Night Prayer for today Thursday July 12 2023
As the night descends upon us, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude, seeking Your presence and offering our thanksgiving. We acknowledge that every breath we take, every beat of our hearts, is a gift from You. We are grateful for the blessings You have bestowed upon us throughout this day and throughout our lives.
Lord, in Your infinite mercy and grace, we ask for forgiveness for any shortcomings, mistakes, or transgressions we may have committed. Wash us clean, O Lord, and renew our spirits. Help us to learn from our past and grow in righteousness, guided by Your unfailing love.
As we prepare to lay our heads down to sleep, we ask for Your divine protection over us. Guard us against any harm or evil, both seen and unseen. Surround us with Your heavenly angels, watching over us throughout the night.
Father, grant us a peaceful sleep tonight, that we may find rest and rejuvenation for our bodies, minds, and souls. Ease our troubled thoughts and quiet the storms within us. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, settle in our hearts.
As the dawn breaks, may we rise with hearts filled with joy and anticipation, ready to embrace the new day You have graciously granted us. Let us wake up refreshed, strengthened, and renewed in Your love.
Lord, we surrender our hopes, dreams, and aspirations to Your will. Grant us the wisdom and discernment to follow Your path, even when it may seem uncertain. Help us to trust in Your divine plan, knowing that You work all things together for our good.
As we close our eyes tonight, we place our burdens, worries, and cares into Your hands. You are our refuge and our strength, and we find solace in Your presence. May the sweet serenade of Your peace lull us to sleep, cradling us in Your tender embrace.
With hearts full of gratitude, we thank You for the gift of life and for the opportunity to see another day. We are humbled by Your unfailing love and grace. Guide us, protect us, and shower us with Your blessings.
In Your precious name, we pray.
Amen.Bible Reading and message for today
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Message: In this verse, the Apostle Paul reminds us to approach God with an open heart, free from anxiety and worry. By offering our prayers, petitions, and gratitude, we invite God’s peace to dwell within us. This peace is not merely worldly, but a transcendent peace that surpasses human understanding. As we lay our burdens before the Lord, He promises to guard our hearts and minds, comforting us in times of trouble.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Message: These verses from the book of Proverbs teach us the importance of trusting in the Lord wholeheartedly. It is a call to surrender our limited understanding and acknowledge God’s sovereignty over our lives. As we submit ourselves to Him, entrusting our plans, dreams, and desires, He promises to guide us along straight paths. When we place our faith in Him, we can find solace in knowing that He will lead us towards His divine purpose.
