Scripture for Peaceful Sleep

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.—Psalm 4:8 (NIV)

END YOUR DAY with prayer. Before you go to sleep, pray inspiring and comforting words from the Bible. Find a few favorites and keep them by your bed. Pray God’s Word before you fall asleep.

Heavenly Father, because of You I can go to bed without fear. I can lie down and sleep soundly.

Turn Annoyance into Gratitude

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways.”—Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

It’s not easy feeling thankful when you are aggravated by setbacks. No matter what you face, one thing remains the same—God. He is with you through life’s big and small problems. Thank Him for being there and trust Him to see you through.

Heavenly Father, help me to see You as the One who walks with me, blessing my day and guiding me to live my life meaningfully.

Unite with God

When my life was ebbing away, I remembered You, Lord, and my prayer rose to You, to Your holy temple.—Jonah 2:7 (NIV)

Anything is possible when you ignite the power of prayer into your life. Prayer is not the means to end. Prayer itself is the power—the intimacy and strength of connecting with God. When you unite with God, you are a winner regardless of the problem you face.

Dear Lord, I come to You with a grateful and open heart. Thank You for being with me.

Comfort in Times of Grief

I am the light of the world.—John 9:5 (NIV)
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale once said: “Darkness is powerless before the onslaught of light. And so it is with death. We have allowed ourselves to think of it as a dark door, when actually it is a rainbow bridge spanning the gulf between two worlds.” When you are grieving, turn to the Bible, God is with you.
Lord, when I can’t feel Your presence, when I feel I can’t even pray, I still know in my heart that You know my troubles. You feel my despair. You will help me through my grief.

Best Way to Start Your Day

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.—Psalm 30:5 (NIV)

It’s been said that the difference between a good day and a bad one depends completely on your attitude. The best way to start each day is to begin with a simple prayer. An attitude of gratitude is a decision you can make each morning.

A Time for Prayer

Pray all the time.—1 Thessalonians 5:17 (MSG)

Think of every moment as an opportunity to pray. Pray the first thing in the morning. Pray on your commute to work. Don’t worry about what to say or if you should be sharing things that may seem small or trivial. Invite Jesus to help guide the details of your life. Pray, pray and keep on praying.

Heavenly Father, I want to make every moment a prayer to You.

Have a Better Attitude

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.—Psalm 90:20 (NIV)

A Psalm 91 Life

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling.—Psalm 91:9 (NIV)

God is your refuge. He will deliver you from a long series of difficulties, fears and troubles. Though you may have difficulties, you will be able to handle all of them, for God will give His angels charge over you. His goodness and love will always surround you and will protect and guide you on the path of life.

Heavenly Father, I will write this psalm on my heart so that no matter how hard my life may be, I will always be on top of things.

His Comforting Promises

No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.—Joshua 1:5 (NIV)

When you have a responsibility that looms large, and are feeling frightened and overwhelmed, don’t be discouraged! The Lord makes a very explicit promise in the above verse. He will never leave or forsake you. God is with you.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the many promises in Your Word that comfort me in times of need.

God Cares

“She answered God by name, praying to the God who spoke to her, ‘You’re the God who sees me! Yes! He saw me; and then I saw him!’ That’s how that desert spring got named ‘God-Alive-Sees-Me Spring.’ That spring is still there, between Kadesh and Bered. Hagar gave Abram a son. Abram named him Ishmael.”—Genesis 16:13–16 (MSG)

There are seasons in life when it may seem that no one understands or cares. God will show up in your time of need just as He did for Hagar. When you feel unseen, He reminds you that you are in His sights. During these times Jesus gives us what we need most: Himself.

Heavenly Father, I know You see me!
