Sunday 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.
Refrain for the Evening
For nothing will be impossible with God.
Luke 1:37
Am I going into this evening carrying anxiety or worry in my heart? Lord, I open my hands now and give those things to you in prayer. Having laid my burdens at your feet, I receive the peace that will guard my heart and mind. (Philippians 4:6-7)
Refrain for the Evening
For nothing will be impossible with God.
Luke 1:37
Am I going into this evening fearful over something in my life? I take a deep breath now and consciously choose to trust you with my life and the lives of those I love. (Psalm 56:3)
I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!
Job 19:25-27
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
In you, LORD my God, I put my trust. I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause. Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good. Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
Psalm 25:1-10
For the sake of your name, LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
Psalm 25:11
Father God, help me remember all the ways I have sinned against you today. Show me the subtleties that bind me like pride, unbelief, ways in which I seek my kingdom and not yours. I confess those things to you now and ask your forgiveness.
Thank you for your assurance in Ephesians 1:7 that, in you, I have redemption through your blood and the forgiveness of my trespasses, according to the riches of your grace! I trust now that I am forgiven.
Refrain for the Evening
For nothing will be impossible with God.
Luke 1:37
Closing Prayer
In peace I now lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety (Psalm 4:8). Grant rest this night, I pray; that tomorrow I would again seek your kingdom and your glory in all the earth. Amen.
