Your Nightly Prayer šš¾ Psalm 76:13
Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever. Psalm 93:5
DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 93
Tonight's psalm reminds us that the Lord is stronger than any storm we face. His power and strength can sustain us during the longest drought; He will keep us anchored no matter how wild the waves of life are. We can know, without a doubt, that He is always in control, and He uses His power for our good.
As you wind down from the day, ask the Lord to speak to you with clarity and assurance. Allow the power of His truth to comfort you through this night so that you can have a sweet and peaceful sleep.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Close your eyes and visualize the Lord as your King, clothed with majesty, reigning over all the earth, reigning over your life. Know, in His power and strength, He can strike down the storms that threaten to overtake you. Picture the waves of the seas rising against you. Listen to the pounding of the waves as they crash back and forth. Feel the Lordās mighty hands strike down the waters; hear His thundering voice over the roar of the mighty seas. The same power that established the world and created the seas is the power that establishes your steps, keeping you safe and secure. Praise Almighty God for how great He is!
CONFESSION: Think of a time when you buckled under the pressure of life and abandoned the ways of the Lord; ask for His forgiveness. Ask Him to make your steps firm and secure, just like He did with the foundation of the world.
THANKSGIVING: Rejoice in the power and strength of the Lord. Thank Him for the times when He has protected you from the storm. Thank Him for the times when He delivered you with His mighty hands.
SUPPLICATION: Lord God, my heart is moved by how very great and mighty You are. Who am I that You, the Creator of the universe, loves me, saved me, and will carry me through this night? Help me to follow Your commands and keep me in Your perfect peace no matter what I am facing. Protect me as I close this day and rest safely in Your arms. I love You, Lord, and I want to love You more. Amen.
PRAYER
āYou are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!ā
PSALM 76:13
Dear Lord, You are the great warrior who fights for us and protects us against our enemies. Like a mighty army, You guard over me and all I hold dear. I pray that You will cover me with Your shield of protection as I sleep, keeping me safe from all harm and danger. Lord, I pray that I will always have a healthy fear of You. May I never forget that You are the holy and righteous God who created the heavens and the earth. May I always remember that You alone are worthy of my worship and devotion. So as I close my eyes tonight, I surrender myself to Your loving hands. Protect me, guide me, and fill me with Your peace. In Jesus' Name, I pray, Amen.

Let us acknowledge and exalt Him for this amazing fact. We can dwell in His safety for all the days of our lives, and we can rest securely in His hands every night.
CONFESSION: We can never hide our sins from God. Our secret sins, the darkness within us, are always brought to light in His presence.

I have made You my refuge and tucked myself into Your will like a child in a blanket. As I drift into a peaceful slumber, I trust Your unwavering love and care.

Your Nightly Prayer šš¾ Psalm 66:5
Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. Psalm 83:3
DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 83
Tonight's psalmist understood the common temptation to want to fight back against those who conspire against us and inspires us to be honest about our struggles and temptations with wanting to solve our problems on our own instead of giving them to the Lord. Even though we're supposed to pray for our enemies, it's hard not to want to fight back if for no other reason than to satisfy our own need to act.
But when foes rise against us, we can rest assured that God is with us to help us fight our battles, and His ways are always best. We can find comfort knowing we never have to face adversity alone and that He is still in control. As you prepare to read tonight's psalm, take a moment to lift any harbored resentment or anger against others to God. Clear your mind of any distractions and focus on hearing His voice through His Word.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Think about how powerful and Almighty God is, taking joy in knowing and serving this Almighty God. Invite His presence to be near to you as you wind down the day. Find comfort in knowing you serve the one, true God who controls all of the earth.
CONFESSION: Think of a tumultuous time when you did not trust God to work for your good. Confess any doubts you have of God's power and any fear of others you are holding on to. Ask Him to help you focus on and turn to Him when you need help.
THANKSGIVING: Thank God for the ways in which He's protected and delivered you through a difficult time. Thank Him, in advance, for the ways in which He will continue to help you and for the times when He will deliver you in the future.
SUPPLICATION: Lord, You know my heart, and I ask You to move in my life in a mighty way. Rise against those who rise against me, and help me remember that I am secure in Your hands. I trust in You and look to You for peace. I praise Your holy Name. Amen.
PRAYER
āCome, and see Godās deedsā awesome work on behalf of the children of men.ā
PSALM 66:5
Dear God, tonight as I wind down, I am reminded of the still waters that calm my soul. Your presence calms me like gentle waves against the shore. I thank You for the gift of another day. The challenges and triumphs of today have brought me one step closer to fulfilling Your purpose for my life. And as I close my eyes tonight, I pray that You will attend to the voice of my prayer and hear my deepest desires. Help me to align my will with Yours and to trust that Your plans for me are more extraordinary than anything I can imagine. May I rest knowing that You are the living water that quenches my thirst for meaning and purpose. Thank You, God, for the peace that comes from knowing that You are always with me. May Your love surround me like the waves of the sea, carrying me into a deep and restful sleep. In Jesusās holy name, I pray, Amen.

Find comfort in the hope of God's redemption of His world and restoration of His justice.

Clear your mind and release your fears, worries, and doubts to God. Lie still and imagine a beautiful city filled with the glory of the Lord, fortified with His strength.
Like this beautiful city, the Lord is within you, protecting and sustainĀ ing you; He is your fortress. Ask Him to inscribe His Word on your heart so that you can carry His truth and love with you into the night. You can rest knowing He is watching over you throughout the night.

PSALM 31:14
Dear Lord, You are my refuge and place of peace. For Your namesake, deliver me! Incline Your ear and answer me speedily. Lord, I feel like a refugee, wandering and aimless in a land of uncertainty. Be my rock and fortress, Lord God, and let me not be put to shame. I want to run this race well and glorify Your name! By Your abundant goodness and glorious grace, grant me ears to hear Your voice and eyes to see Your face. I will wait on You. I will trust You. I will bless You all of my days. Tonight I ask for peace. Comfort me in Your presence and drape me in a blanket of Your love. Envelop me with relief, and restore me so I may praise You in the morning. In Jesusā name, I pray, Amen.

Your Nightly Prayer šš¾ Psalm 30:5
God reigns over the heathen: God sits upon the throne of His Holiness. Psalm 47:8
DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 47
No matter what is happening in our lives or our world, we can always find joy and hope in the power and sovereignty of the Lord. Praising God for who He is rather than for what He does changes our perspective and allows us to experience all the wonderful things God has for us- His joy, hope, and peace.
As you wind down from the day, focus on this truth, acknowledging God is the all-powerful. Rest assured that He controls all the events in your world and all the circumstances in your life. As your King, He cares about your life and works for your good, for you are His, and He is your God.
Now surrender to the almighty King and ask Him to speak to you through tonightās psalm. Allow the truth of who He is to bring you comfort and hope as you sleep.

This same King that has the power to create and destroy nations is the King who knows every detail about you and uses His power to protect you and preserve you. Praise Him for the glorious King He is!
CONFESSION:
Think of a time when you lost sight of God, trusting in worldly things rather than in God. Ask for His forgiveness. Pray He will help you keep your eyes on Him and turn your ears toward His Word as you navigate this world.

I pray for the leaders of this nation, that they would unite and be of one mind toward You. Give them discernment and courage to do the work before them. All glory and honor to You. Amen.
PRAYER
āFor his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.ā
PSALM 30:5
Dear Lord, I know You are with me in every moment of darkness. There is no trial or hardship beyond Your redemptive work. During seasons of intense darkness, I put my hope in the light of heaven. Although the night may be filled with tears, joy will meet me in the morning. You will guard me under Your strong tower. You will uplift me and show me that no sin, shame, or failure is more potent than Your providential love for me. Comfort my soul tonight and teach me how to tuck gently into Your loving arms. In Jesusā name, I pray, Amen.

PSALM 29:2
Dear Lord, tonight I am in awe of Your creation. All nature answers to Your voice. All the hosts of heaven proclaim Your glory in an endless song of praise. There is no one like You. It is an astonishing thing to consider how much You love me. As I rest after a long day tonight, I want to settle peacefully into the same praise of creation. Though I am weak and my soul wanders from the truth, You have seen it fit to love me anyways. Just as You sit atop a throne of everlasting light, I pray You would sit upon the throne of my life. Direct the convictions of my heart like You direct the course of the winds. Build the foundation of my life like You established the mountains on high. I want my life to be in tandem with nature - ever praising Your holy name! Amen.

Your Nightly Prayer šš¾ Psalm 28:7
I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations Therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. Psalm 45:17
DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 45
The Bible uses the marriage metaphor to depict Christās relationship with the Church. Throughout Scripture, Christ is referred to as the bridegroom, and the Church is referred to as the bride of Christ. This psalm is a beautiful poem describing a royal wedding that perfectly illustrates our future with Christ. In the same way, a bride spends time preparing herself for her prince, and our lives are a period of preparation for the day we will meet our King.
Imagine what rejoicing there will be in a holy union with Him. Picture Him as the majestic Crown of all, ruling in truth, humility, and justice- and one who is completely devoted to protecting and sustaining you through the night. Allow your hope in the Lord to take hold of and renew your spirit.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION:
Praise God for the joy and gladness you have in your heart as you think about approaching the noble throne of the almighty King. Give all praise and worship to Him as you remember that He will reign forever and ever.

Think of a time when you took Godās greatness for granted. Ask for His forgiveness and His help with focusing on a bright and amazing future with Him.
THANKSGIVING:
Rejoice in the Lord by thanking Him for the plans He has for you. Praise Him for His care as your King.
SUPPLICATION:
Father, thank You for all that Youāve put in place so that I can have a glorious eternal future with You. Help my focus, deeds, actions, and thoughts be ever mindful of You and the sacrifice You made on my behalf. Draw my heart toward Your presence and Your holinessāas though every day is a wedding day with You. All glory and honor to You. Amen.
PRAYER
āThe Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.ā
PSALM 28:7
My God and King, You are a refuge for the refugees and a safe harbor for souls lost at sea. You are my safe place, my shelter from the storm. When I feel like the chaos of life is tossing me around, I know I can come to You and find peace. When I'm afraid, You give me comfort and hope. I also thank You for being my source of strength. Sometimes life can be exhausting, and I feel like I don't have the energy to keep going. But with You by my side, I know I can do anything. As I close my eyes tonight, I pray that You will watch over me and give me rest. May I wake up in the morning renewed and refreshed, ready to face whatever the day may bring. Thank You for being my refuge and my strength. In Jesusā Name, Amen

Wash over me with Your love and comfort, filling me with the peace that surpasses all understanding. I admit to being afraid, anxious, and unsure about the future.
