An Evening Prayer for a Quiet Mind
Lord, calm the thoughts that race within me tonight,
And quiet the anxious noise of my mind.
I choose to release the worries and burdens of this day,
Exchanging them for Your deep and restorative peace.
Remove the tension from my body and the fear from my heart,
Reminding me that You remain near while I slumber,
And grant me the gift of a truly peaceful sleep.
Scripture for Reflection
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
— Psalm 4:8
