Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.

Evening Scripture
LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Psalm 16:5-11
Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully.
Psalm 24:3,4
Lord, please show me the ways I have sinned against you today. Call out wrong attitudes and actions so that I might confess them to you now. Be sweeter to me than the sins that I’m hanging onto. Help me to lay them before you and remind me of what I lose by holding on to them.
I thank you, Father, that when I acknowledge my sin to you, and do not cover my iniquity; when I confess my transgressions to you, that you forgive the iniquity of my sin (Psalm 32:5). I trust now that I have received your forgiveness.
Refrain for the Evening
Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
Psalm 116:7
Closing Prayer
In peace I now lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety (Psalm 4:8). Grant rest this night, I pray; that tomorrow I would again seek your kingdom and your glory in all the earth. Amen.
