Before Going to Sleep

2. Before Going to Sleep Dear God, as I lie down to sleep, relieve me of the tension in my body; calm the restlessness of my mind; still the thoughts that worry and perplex me. Help me to rest myself and all my problems in your strong and loving arms. Let your Spirit speak to my mind and heart while I am asleep, so that, when I awaken in the morning, I may find light illumining my way for the day, strength lightening the burden of my tasks, and peace ridding me of my worries! Forgive me my sins tonight and grant me a peaceful sleep tonight, and tomorrow the power to live life anew! Amen.
