Worry Less, Pray MoreSample

NIGHT WATCHES

It’s late at night, and you should be fast asleep. But for some reason, you’re still awake. In the quiet darkness, it’s easy to let your mind wander into the even darker territory of worry. But why not switch up your thought pattern and go from worry to wonder by meditating on God? Remember how much God has done for you. How He protected and cared for you, helped you, and provided all you needed to make it to this point in your day and in your life. Rejoice in and thank Him for all the blessings He has bestowed upon you. Then see yourself clinging to Him as He holds you up, carries you, and pours out upon you His strength and peace.

Prayer: Hold me, Lord, as I cling to You, absorbing Your presence and peace.
