The prayer asks for God's presence to quiet anxious thoughts, for restoration of mind, body, and spirit, and for preparation for tomorrow.

Chapters

Father God, thank you for carrying me through this day, for your provision, your protection, your mercy, and every blessing I may not have even seen. Tonight I release every burden into your hands. What I cannot change, I surrender. What I do not understand, I trust you with. COVID my home and those I love. Let your presence fill this place, and let your peace quiet every anxious thought. As I rest tonight, restore my mind, my body, and my spirit. Prepare the way before me for tomorrow. I declare what you have ordained for me will not miss me. What you have spoken over my life will come to pass. And even while I sleep, You are still working tonight. I rest knowing that I am covered, I am guided, and I am held by you. I surrender this night into your hands, and I trust you with tomorrow. In Jesus' name.
