We rejoice with you in your gratitude and pray that the Holy Spirit fills each of us with a spirit of thankfulness.
Father, we are grateful to be able to come before You in Jesus' name, knowing that You hear the prayers of the intercessor as much as the one being prayed for. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we are members of one body, and as one body we lift each other up in prayer. Lord, we come before You now praying for the one who has posted this request.
Father, we ask You to bless and protect each one of us, our families, and our communities in the name of Jesus Christ. You are our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer. Father, we ask that You will quiet our hearts and minds with Your peace as we lie down to sleep. You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. If there is any restlessness of the soul caused by fear, anxiety, or burdens, Father we invite You to speak to our hearts and replace fear with peace, anxiety with calm, and burden with praise. Father, we ask that You would calm those who suffer with insomnia. We rebuke any spirit of restlessness, or tormenting spirit that may be bothering us in the night in Jesus' name.
We pray for the one who posted this request, Father, knowing that it is Your will that we enjoy sound sleep. Father, we pray for sound sleep, good health, and a refreshed spirit in Jesus' name. We also pray for those who are unable to find rest due to physical pain, Father we ask that You would provide relief and healing in Jesus' name.
Father, we ask that You would help us to cast all our anxieties on You, because You care for us. In Jesus' name, we pray that You would fill our hearts with peace and allow us to rest in You. Father, we thank You that You have given us the gift of sleep. We thank You that You are in control of all things and that You neither slumber nor sleep. We praise You that You are our protector and our provider.
Father, we ask that You would remind us of these truths when we are unable to sleep, and that You would turn our restlessness into worship. In Jesus' name, we pray for the one who posted this request to find rest and peace. Father, we pray for those who are struggling with nightmares, that You would guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Father, we ask that You would help us to meditate on Your word as we fall asleep, and that You would speak to us through our dreams.
We recognize that God is our refuge and strength, a help that is always near in times of trouble. Therefore we will not be afraid when the earth trembles and the mountains topple into the depths of the seas, when its water roars and foams, and the mountains quake with its turmoil.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage everyone to remember these verses when seeking peaceful sleep:
Psalm 4:8: "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety."
Psalm 127:2: "It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep."
Psalm 3:5: "I laid me down and slept; I awakened; for the Lord sustained me."
Psalm 91:1-2: "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"
