## Written prayer

Dear God, as I lay down to rest, I want to take a moment to thank You for Your steadfast love. Your love is all-encompassing and never fails. Through the day's challenges, I know that You are always with me, guiding my steps and providing comfort in my times of need. I am genuinely thankful for Your grace, mercy, and goodness surrounding me. As I close my eyes, I ask for Your continued guidance and protection throughout the night. Watch over me and keep me safe from harm. Give me peaceful and restful sleep so I can wake up refreshed in the morning. Thank You, God, for Your unwavering love and never-ending grace. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
