Several folks have recently mentioned they’re having trouble falling asleep at night… I thought I’d once posted a prayer for such times and after a little searching I found that I had…
Lord, help me fall asleep tonight…
Help me draw the shades and curtains
on my worries and fears…
Help me rest from this day’s troubles
on a bed of blest assurance…
Help me gently place in your care
those I carry in my heart…
Help me lay my weary head down
on a pillow stuffed with prayer…
Help me let go all my restlessness
to calm and peaceful dreams…
Help me nod off, trusting fully
you’ll keep watch until I wake…
Help me sleep in restful slumber
to refresh my soul and body,
help me fall asleep tonight, Lord,
help me fall asleep in you…
Protect me, Lord, while I’m awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace…
Here’s a beautiful, calming instrumental piece,
(perfect, I think, for an evening in spring)
to help us fall asleep tonight…
Evening Song
(Sanctuary Rose Rondo in G Minor, Pt. 1)
