Sleep Tight

 

…when I remember You

                upon my bed,

and meditate on You

   in the watches of the night.

                 

                      Psalm 63. 6

 

(When worry, fear and anxiety

        wake us in the night,

push them out of bed.

      Fight back

     with prayer and meditation

            and reciting His Word.

Calm our hearts,

     knowing God is with us.

Pray our way

    back into His gentle sleep

    over us.)

 

O LORD,

In the early darkness

   when we cannot sleep,

fill us with Your peace.

Show us how to pray away

       anything that robs us

       of the sleep we need.

Show us when we do need to pray

          at that very moment.

And no matter how many minutes

          or hours awake,

make it enough, O LORD.

We can trust You,

                even in this.
