Prayer
Beloved Father,
as this day comes to an end, I come before you
to thank you for everything I have experienced.
Thank you for the joys and the challenges,
for the lessons I have learned,
and for your constant presence in my life.
I ask your forgiveness for my mistakes,
for the words I should not have spoken,
and for the actions that offended you.
Cleanse my heart and renew my spirit.
Tonight I give you all my worries:
my fears, my anxieties, and my doubts.
I know that you watch over me and those I love.
Grant me restoring sleep,
protect my family while we rest,
and awaken us tomorrow with renewed strength
to serve you with joy.
Into your hands I surrender myself.
Amen.
