say good night present and rest in the peace of god remember god's word from 2 thessalonians 3 verse 16 now may the lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way the lord be with all of you let the lord give you peace that great mind of yours there are so many things begging for your attention think about me instead they say think about your to-do list you may be lying in bed thinking of all the things you need to do tomorrow errands you need to run deals you need to
seal phone calls you need to make there are people who need you tasks that are waiting on you details that will not be noticed by anyone but you you may be planning out your morning wondering if you have coffee or anything for breakfast you may be remembering a forgotten appointment or realizing you double booked it begs for your attention but this is not the time say good night to do list and rest in the peace of god and that great mind of yours there are many things begging for your think about me instead they say
think about what if like your own little daydream when you really ought to be dreaming your mind may beckon you into scenarios that could have been what if you had gone there what if you had done that what if this were different what if that were the same oh there are so many possibilities of where your mind might wander instead of sleep it begs for your attention but this is not the time say good night what ifs and rest in the peace of god in that great mind of yours there are many things begging for
your attention think about me instead they say think about change you may feel like life is just too static and you're longing for things to change you find yourself running through various scenarios and situations imagining the ways in which you might make a change in life with an unknown conclusion your mind could wander endlessly yes it begs for your attention but this is not the time say good night change and rest in the peace of god and again we look to the word of god in 2 thessalonians 3 verse 16. now may the lord of
peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way the lord be with all of you the lord gives you peace though many things beg for your attention this is not the time this is not the time to wonder this is not the time for endless scenarios and mindless wanderings this is the time for rest it is the time for peace for the lord of peace himself will give you peace at all times and in every way especially right now god indeed invites you into his all-consuming peace inviting you to lay down the
things that cause you stress fear or concern even the menial things that gather in your mind as the day draws to a close remember the lord is peace and he draws you near to rest in him as saint augustine once said our hearts are restless until they rest in you rest in god your father tonight as you lay down for sleep feel his peace deeply as you dream dreams of heaven now let's unwrap the gift of sleep tonight imagine a beautifully wrapped package handed to you by your loving creator he encourages you to untie the
ribbon and just let it fall away he guides you to remove the wrapping and set it aside he waits patiently as you open the box to discover a beautiful gift the gift of sleep spend a few quiet moments embracing this gift with a heart of thankfulness to the one who loves you and cares about you please let me pray over you tonight thank you good father for the gift of sleep thank you for knowing just what your beloved child needs at the end of a long day help them release every worry and concern to you
tonight please cover them with your peace and protection so they can fully relax and find true rest in your presence i pray this in the precious name of your son jesus amen sleep is the cessation of labor it is the time of day that we let go of every unfinished task we surrender it to the hands of the father he will take care of it he will guard what we have committed to him take a moment to commit everything to god whatever remains undone it's okay let it go rest peacefully in the savior tonight don't
worry about a thing he's got this he's got you often when sleep eludes us it's because we're holding on to the cares of this life we struggle to let go of them because we struggle to trust god we forget that god is the head of our households he is sovereign over us as the psalmist says in psalm 127 unless the lord builds the house those who build it labor in vain unless the lord watches over the city the watchman stays awake in vain dear one the lord is watching over you tonight there is no need
to stay awake with your worries or concerns for the lord does not slumber nor sleep he will keep watch over you rest in that comforting thought for several moments the psalmist goes on to say that it is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night anxiously working for food to eat for god gives rest to his loved ones god gives rest to his loved ones you are loved by god he has given you the gift of sleep it overtakes you from head to toe you feel your whole body relax
you close your eyes and take a deep breath in and slowly let it out what beautiful gifts our father gives to those he loves assurance peace relaxation security and sleep embrace his gift of sleep tonight as i pray let it become the prayer of your heart heavenly father thank you for your gift of sleep what a precious gift it is i am so thankful for your presence tonight your love comforts me your gift of sleep restores me thank you lord i believe you are sovereign over all things over my life my work and my rest
i release all of my anxieties to you thank you so much for gifting me with peace and rest tonight in jesus name amen now sink your head deeper into the pillow and pull the covers around you allow your breathing to fall into a steady rhythm in and out in and out feel the gift of sleep envelop you like a soft cocoon gently it wraps around you securing you in the loving arms of the father like the cocoon of a butterfly sleep begins to encase you in soft silky warmth the strands of god's peace enclose you
in the gentlest way possible for he is a gentle father kind and good from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet you feel safe guarded and secure rest in the security of god's love for several moments sleep is a gift for our bodies for it allows processing restoring and strengthening to take place as we drift through sleep cycles our minds are able to process the day's events we are able to organize information file it away and remember what is most important each cell in our body benefits from sleep it rejuvenates us
repairs our tissues and restores us from a long day of hard work oh what a beautiful gift from our heavenly father he knows just what our bodies need he created us he created sleep rest in that assurance for a few moments not only do our physical bodies need sleep our spirits need god's true rest in the book of hebrews chapter 4 we read about god's promise of rest which comes through faith in jesus christ for we who have believed do enter that rest we who believe we who trust we who put our faith in the
savior of our souls we enter god's promise of rest settle your heart on that promise for a few moments now please allow me to pray over you again lord thank you for restoring your beloved one tonight every night as they sleep thank you for rejuvenating them you know just what they need you are good you are sovereign you are holy allow true rest to come to your child tonight as they trust in you settle their minds repair their bodies and restore their hearts unto you thank you lord in jesus name amen breathe softly in and
out inhale the sweet presence of the lord he is with you exhale the remnants of a long day release it all to him hear the words of the psalmist again from psalm 127 a psalm of solomon it is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night anxiously working for food to eat for god gives rest to his loved ones now be assured that rising early at the start of a new day ready to work with willing hands is a good thing however starting the day with an anxious heart isn't
beneficial at all there is no need to be anxious there is no need to fret god is with you instead of rising early with burdens on your heart consider starting your morning with a quiet meditation let god's word be the first words you hear each day for his mercies are new every morning let his mercies flow over you now for several moments then as you move through your day no matter what comes you can recall the sweet words of wisdom you heard that morning in the quiet hour before anyone else was awake you heard from
the god of all creation you can carry his word with you as a guide a comfort in a peaceful meditation at the end of the day resist the temptation to keep working and toiling into the night listen to the wise words of solomon who said the lord gives sleep to his beloved the lord gives sleep to his beloved you are his beloved each evening carve out some time to be still before the lord make room in your schedule to thank him for guiding you through the day invite his presence into your household ask him to
cover you as you sleep then as you lay your head down for the night and pull the warm covers around you begin to unwrap god's gift of sleep untie the ribbon of divine rest open the box and embrace the gift of true rest in the lord his gift of sleep to you feel his peace in the room feel his presence surrounding you hear his words of comfort flow through you heart mind and soul inhale and exhale continue to breathe softly in and out as i say a prayer over you heavenly father in the name of
your son jesus i pray over this beloved one tonight i ask that you help them surrender their lives to you and receive the gift of true rest i pray that they find comfort and peace in your presence please help them let go of anything that is on their mind or heart tonight thank you for loving them thank you for watching over them and thank you for the gift of sleep amen i feel like when i listen to the sleep meditations that i have a friend next to me
