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
I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— and I will meditate on your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your awesome works— and I will proclaim your great deeds. They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. All your works praise you, LORD; your faithful people extol you.
Psalm 145:1-10
You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5:48
Father God, this one verse is so intimidating! Please help me to trust you day by day to make me more like you, as I surrender to the desire to pursue holiness! Bring to mind the ways I have sinned against you today that I might confess and ask your forgiveness. And increase my faith in the Perfect One, Jesus, whose life was lived and sacrificed as a substitute for my own!
Thank you Lord, that you have blotted out my transgressions like a cloud and my sins like mist. (Isaiah 44:22) Thank you that you have redeemed me!! I trust now that I am forgiven.
Refrain for the Evening
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
Closing Prayer
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.
