Evening Prayer
Peace, Protection, and Rest in God
Night has a way of slowing us down. The lights dim, the noise fades, but our minds often keep racing. Worries resurface, fears creep in, and tomorrow’s to-do list feels heavier than ever. That’s why Christians across the centuries have turned to night prayer—ending the day in God’s presence, laying down their burdens, and trusting him for protection and peace.
The Bible promises, “I will both lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety” (Psalm 4:8, NRSV). Whether you’re praying for your family, asking for strength against anxiety, or simply thanking God for the day, night prayer is a way of resting not just your body, but your soul.
Here you’ll find prayers for protection, prayers for families, Scripture-based night prayers, and answers to common questions about ending your day with God.
A Simple Night Prayer
Gracious God, as the day ends, I rest in your care. Quiet my anxious thoughts, forgive what I have done wrong, and guard my loved ones through the night. Let your peace surround us and your Spirit renew us, so that when morning comes, we rise ready to serve you with joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
