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.

Reflect

Refrain for the Evening

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
      John 16:33

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

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
      John 16:33

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)

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
      1 Corinthians 15:57

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

I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
      Psalm 30:1-5

Repent

Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
       2 Timothy 2:21

Father God, I come to you now for cleansing. Remind me of the ways I have sinned against you today, in thought, word or deed. I confess them to you now.

Thank you Lord, that you dwell with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit. You come to revive the heart of the contrite! (Isaiah 57:15) I trust now that I am forgiven.

Rest

Refrain for the Evening

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
      John 16:33

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.
