Take a few slow,
Deep breaths.
Inhale God's peace.
Exhale the weight of the day.
Let your shoulders soften,
Your jaw relax,
And your thoughts settle.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for carrying me throughout this day.
For every blessing,
Big and small,
Seen and unseen,
I give you thanks.
Help me release what is unfinished and rest in the truth that you are always working for my good.
Lord,
I bring you my worries,
My mistakes,
And my burdens.
Forgive me where I fell short today.
I lay down my fears,
My to-do list,
And my striving.
I trust that you hold tomorrow in your hands.
As you inhale,
Pray silently,
I rest in your peace.
And as you exhale,
Pray silently,
I surrender it all to you.
Lord,
Cover this home with your peace tonight.
Guard my mind from anxious thoughts,
My heart from fear,
And my dreams from unrest.
Let your presence be my comfort and my safe refuge as I sleep.
As I close my eyes,
Help me rest in your promises.
Renew my strength for the day ahead.
May I wake tomorrow with a heart full of gratitude and a spirit ready to follow you.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
