Monday 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.

Reflect

Refrain for the Evening

He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
      Psalm 62:6

Am I going into this evening carrying anxiety or worry in my heart? Lord, I open my hands now and give you all of the things that have me anxious. Having laid my burdens at your feet, I receive the peace that comes from trusting you with them. You have promised me that your steadfast love endures forever. (Psalm 136:2)

Refrain for the Evening

He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
      Psalm 62:6

Am I going into this evening fearful over something in my life?  I take a deep breath now and consciously choose to trust you in this moment with my life and all I hold dear, knowing that your word to me is “fear not,” because you are the one who helps me. (Isaiah 41:13)

The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.
      Proverbs 21:31

Rejoice

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

You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you. For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
      Psalm 56:8-13

Repent

Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.
       Ephesians 1:4

Father God, remind me of the sins today that I did intentionally and also the ones I did unintentionally. Make me clean before you as I come and confess my sins to you now.

Thank you Lord, that you have compassion on me and tread my iniquities under your feet. You cast all of my sin into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:19) I trust now that I am forgiven.

Rest

Refrain for the Evening

He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
      Psalm 62:6

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.
