You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.
Psalm 32:7
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.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

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 wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption. And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

Father God, remind me of my sins today. I lay my soul before you and invite you to plumb the depths of my actions and every intention of my heart. I confess all my sin to you now.
Thank you Lord, that you have told me that, with you, there is forgiveness. (Psalm 130:4) I trust now that I am clean.
