Prayer For Sleep Protection

Almighty God, radiant with light, cast your goodness to shine upon me. Most wonderful Lord, creator of all things, hold your truth to shield me. Majestic King who reigns over all, slay with great love all the shadows around me. Prince of Peace, glorious and true, lift your arms of strength to cover me. All this night through. Amen


Father, we thank thee for the night, and for the pleasant morning light. For rest and food and loving care, and all that makes the day so fair. Help us to do the things we should, to be to others kind and good. In all we do, in work or play, to grow more loving every day.


Oh Lord,

Go with each of us to rest; if any awake, temper to them the dark hours of watching; and when the day returns, return to us, our sun and comforter, and call us up with morning faces and with morning hearts, eager to labor, eager to be happy, and if the day be marked for sorrow, strong to endure it.


Merciful God, thank you that there is nowhere I can go that is beyond your presence. Your word says that you will not let me fall because you never sleep or slumber. While I need to sleep and rest, you never cease working for me, protecting me and fighting for me. Let me be filled with the comfort and security that comes from knowing I am safe in your hands. Help me sleep, Lord. Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanksgiving, honor, and power and strength, be unto you my God, forever and ever. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.


Name above all Names, thank you that you are all-powerful, you can do anything you desire. You are the Lord of hosts, the commander of heavens armies. At your name, demons tremble and flee. May I sleep under the powerful protection of your name tonight and every night. Hear my prayer and fight for me, Lord. May you, the God of all grace, who has called me into eternal glory by Christ Jesus, make me holy, strong and filled with peace. To you be glory and honor, forever and ever. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.


Lord Jesus Christ, thank you that you are the same yesterday, today, and forever. You have said that your peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus. Give me your supernatural peace as I sleep tonight. Surround me with your almighty presence. You slept in the middle of a storm because you knew that the storm would be still with one word from you. Speak your might, calming word to the storms in my life and help me to sleep in the midst of them. Watch over me and keep me. In your all-powerful name, Amen.


King of Kings, Lord of Lords, thank you that you made all things, and in you all things hold together. You made me and you hold me together. You protect me and fight my battles on my behalf. I pray for your protection against the enemy, his servants, their works and effects. Fill my mind with thoughts of you and your good creation as I sleep tonight. Remind me that neither death or life, angels or rulers, things present or future, height or depth, or anything else in all creation, will be able to separate me from your love. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.


Heavenly Father, thank you that you possess infinite riches of wisdom, goodness and power. Your word says that you rested on the seventh day of your creation and you have created me to need that same pattern of rest. I am sorry, Lord, for the many times I have neglected your gift of rest and relied on my own power and strength. Let me be filled with your wisdom and peace. May I rest and sleep knowing that you continue to work for my good. Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Let your glory be above all the earth. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
