Sleep Psalms: 14 Nightly Moments of Mindfulness & RestSample

God is always listening with love to you and your prayers, even when you are unsure of whether He will hear and respond to you. He sees you and wants to bring you hope and peace as you turn to Him. You can find hope for your future and tranquility in your present by focusing on God's strength and power.

As you lie down and close your eyes, breathe in and out slowly, and focus your thoughts on God. Visualize Him as the powerful and righteous King, who sees all things. Embrace the truth that He is not only in complete control of every nation but also the circumstances you are in. Draw close to Him, and He will draw close to you. Listen for His still, small voice that brings comfort as only He can. Meditate on these consoling words to reassure your heart and bring you peaceful rest for the night.

Why, LORD, do You stand far off?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?...
Arise, LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God.
Do not forget the helpless...
You, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;
You consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to You;
You are the helper of the fatherless... The LORD is King for ever and ever;
the nations will perish from His land.
You, LORD, hear the desire of the afflicted;
You encourage them, and You listen to their cry,
defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.
PSALM 10:1, 12, 14, 16-18

ADORATION: Looking to the Almighty God can shift your perspective and transform your entire outlook. Remember that He is good, and He will never leave you. Nothing can separate Him from you. Bask in His healing presence now, and feel the warmth and closeness of His love.

CONFESSION: Think of any doubts you have about the goodness of God. Have you shared these doubts with Him? Maybe it's time for you to ask for forgiveness for not putting your trust in Him. Allow tonight's psalm to remind you of His supreme virtue and to renew your spirit of belief.

THANKSGIVING: Praise God for being with you when you face troubles. Rejoice in never having to face them or this world alone. Praise Him for the times He has helped you and delivered you in your past and how He will do the same in your future.

SUPPLICATION: Lord, it's hard not to get overwhelmed. I ask that Your hand be on me as well as on all who are weak and vulnerable, that we would know of Your love and presence in our lives. Give me discernment and wisdom to not get pulled in all directions, but to stay safe within the path and plan You have for me. Help me to remember that You see the trouble of the afflicted and that You are in control. Help me to hold on to the truth that You are with me and for me, and You will never leave. In Jesus' name. Amen.
