Tuesday Night
Prayer
As this day comes to a close, I quiet the noise of my thoughts and my efforts, and seek you in the stillness.

Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.

Am I going into this evening fearful over something in my life? I take a deep breath now and consciously choose to trust and not be afraid; for you are my strength and my song and you have become my salvation. (Isaiah 12:2)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

As I go to sleep, my Father, I praise you for sustaining me this day, and thank you for your blessings in it. Show me now where you have been answering prayers or how you were at work in my life today.
Evening Scripture
Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you. But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
Psalm 73:23-28
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
Romans 6:22
Father God, remind me of all the ways I have sinned against you today. Am I believing that I am still a slave to any sin in my life? Do I struggle with an addiction that the evil one has convinced me I have no power against? Father, forgive me for my sin, including my unbelief, and may I stand on the truth that you have set me free from the power of sin in my life! I give you these things that have bound me and I trust that, in your power, I can put them to death! I ask you to accomplish that victory in my surrender!
Jesus, I thank you that you live in me and that you are greater than he who is in the world! (1 John 4:4) I trust now that I am forgiven.

In peace I now lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety (Psalm 4:8). Grant rest tonight, I pray. And grant that tomorrow I would again seek your Kingdom and your glory in all the earth. Amen.
