About this prayer
Bedtime prayer of gratitude: thank God for carrying you through today and rest in His sustaining care. “I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.” — Psalm 3:5 KJV (public domain). The Bible scene is a contextual illustration inspired by the heading and prayer of Psalm 3, not historical footage or a precise reconstruction. Before you turn off the last light, pause for one quiet thank you. You made it through this day by grace. David knew that rest was a gift from God. Psalm three says, I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. Father, thank You for carrying me through today. Thank You for the help I received, the strength to keep going, and mercies I never noticed. Forgive my failures. Help me forgive others. Lord Jesus, quiet my heart and bless everyone I love. Let gratitude soften this room. I place myself in Your care. Stay near as I rest. In Jesus' name, Amen. Share a prayer request with our fellowship.
