Sleep Psalms: 14 Nightly Moments of Mindfulness & RestSample

Tonight, as you lie down, you can rest assured that you are seen, you are important, and you are more than enough. You are incredibly valuable to the Almighty God! Relax, close your eyes, breathe in God, and breathe out any negative thoughts about yourself.

Remember that the Creator of the universe, who spoke the world into existence, also created you – His beautiful child, whom He perfectly crafted and whom He dearly loves and values. You are crowned with glory and honor!

LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
You have set Your glory in the heavens...
When I consider Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which You have set in place,
what is mankind that You are mindful of them,
human beings that You care for them?
You have made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.
You made them rulers over the works of Your hands;
You put everything under their feet...
LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
PSALM 8:1, 3-6, 9

ADORATION: Close your eyes and imagine God looking down on you in love. Know God made you and values you over all creation. You are His masterpiece. He has put His creation underneath your feet and has put you over the wonderful works of His hands because He loves you and adores you. Now adore Him in return for all that He has done. Take delight in the Lord; rejoice in His excellent name.

CONFESSION: Think of an area of your life where you struggle with fully embracing the value you have in God's eyes. Bring your feelings of inadequacy to Him. Listen for His voice, and let His tender whispers remind you of who you are in Him – His beloved child who is more than enough, who is greatly loved, and who was created to do amazing things through Him.

THANKSGIVING: Thank God for the unique way He created you. Thank Him for the gifts He has given you in your life. Thank Him for His magnificence and for caring for and nurturing you, His beautiful creation.

SUPPLICATION: Father, thank You for reminding me that my confidence comes from who I am in You. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. May I be reminded and may I believe that I am worthy of Your love and able to be used by You. Give me childlike faith as I sleep tonight so I can rest deeply in Your loving arms. All praise be to You. Amen.
