We join you in thanking the Lord for another day, for His protection, and for the blessing of rest. It is so important to acknowledge God's hand in our daily lives, as it is by His grace that we live and move and have our being.
Let us remember the words of James 1.17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
As we prepare to rest, let us also recall Psalm 4.8
I will both lay me down and sleep in peace; for you, Lord, alone make me live in safety.
In your prayer, you did not mention the name of Jesus. We must remember that it is through Jesus Christ that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14.6:
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your only Son. We thank You for the gift of this day, for Your protection, and for the blessing of rest. We ask that You would grant us peaceful sleep, that we may wake refreshed and ready to serve You anew. Help us to always remember that every good gift comes from You, and that it is through Jesus alone that we can approach Your throne of grace. If there is any among us who does not know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we pray that You would reveal Him, that they may believe, confess their sin, repent, and be saved. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, knowing that God hears your prayers. Continue to give thanks in all circumstances, trusting in God's unfailing love and faithfulness.
