Often, our days can be full of deliverables that we become drowned in the moment of work, school and other activities. In all these things that we do, we get lost in ourselves and we forget that we are loved by our Creator. This makes it important to pray at night so we can remind ourselves of the existence of an ever-loving God who supports and provides for us every single hour of the day. This moment to ourselves or with others allows us time to relieve all the stress and dwell on the gratitude of the day that was gifted to us. Here are some night prayers to guide you on your end of day prayer.
Night Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank You for this day. We are grateful for the strength You gave us today to get our work done. We are thankful for Your provisions every day, that we may have food on the table, a roof over our heads, and a peaceful place to sleep at night.
As we lay our heads to rest, we ask for Your protection over us, our families, and everyone in our household. Grant us peace of mind so that we may rest well tonight. Keep our homes safe from any danger. Let no thieves break in and steal. Let no calamity befall this house as we sleep. And let no worries and anxiety disturb our minds in our slumber.
We also pray, God, that You will renew our strength to face another day. Grant us a good night’s sleep so that tomorrow, we can face any challenge that awaits us. Remind our hearts not to worry, but to be thankful for the day ahead. In Your Name, we pray, Amen.
Evening Prayer
Dear God, we are truly grateful for blessing us today. Thank You for the work that allows us to provide for our families. Thank You for the strength that You give us each day that lets us do our work. Thank You as well for the talents you have endowed to each one of us that allows us to do excellent work.
Now, God, we are thankful for this time You have given us to be with our families and loved ones. Thank You that we are able to spend time with them each evening. We also thank You for being with them during the day. Thank You for protecting them and giving them the same wisdom and strength to go through the day. As we spend time with them this evening, may You allow us to be channels of your blessing to them as well.
Thank You for this evening, Father God, that we are able to take a rest from our busy schedules. Always remind us, Father, of your presence in each of our lives. Help us not to forget to always look to You as our source of strength for each day. Also, God, we pray that you would give us a restful night ahead as the day ends. That we may face tomorrow with boldness and confidence. In Your Name, we pray, Amen.

Father in Heaven, as we reflect the day that has passed, we thank You for helping us through this day. We thank You for giving us the strength and wisdom to do our work, to study, and to spend time with our families.

Bedtime Prayer for Kids
Dear God, thank You for creating us uniquely and wonderfully. Thank You for the good times You let us experience today. Thank You, God, for our parents who love us very much. Please continue to provide our needs. Keep Mom and Dad safe from harm. Allow them to be blessings to us each and every day.
Father God, we thank You too for giving us the gift of education. Thank You also for our minds that are willing to learn. Allow us to be excellent in school so that we may honor our parents and honor You as well.

Prayer for Protection before Sleep
Father God, we ask for Your protection tonight as we close our eyes and lay our heads to rest. We confess that there are many things we are afraid of what may happen during the dead of night. Cover us, God, and let no harm come to us as we rest. Protect our home from thieves. Let no sudden disease afflict us. And we ask that You let the peace of mind rule in us through the night. Thank You, God, for the protection and good night’s rest that You will give us. In Your Name, we pray, Amen.
By allowing ourselves to take that pause and to breath, we bring ourselves time to think of what is important and what isn’t. This is the moment to just free ourselves from anxiety and simply submit to the power that is above us all. This is also the best hour to provide space in our hearts to let go of any concerns that may keep us from having a good night. This is also a time to ask for guidance from the Creator who knows about us more than anyone.
Use the prayers above to shelter yourself with God’s loving embrace as you go into a peaceful night. And by this, you will wake up the next morning filled with gratitude for another day in your temporary life here on earth. Always remember to make your night prayer an evening habit.
