A Sleep Prayer for Insomnia
God who never slumbers, but created me with limits and a need for rest, please let me sleep! Fill my mind and heart with peace. Remove distractions and pressures that are keeping me awake. If youโre keeping my eyes open and mind alert for a reason, please guide me into prayer or show me why tonight, of all nights, I canโt sleep in peace. And if tomorrow comes, and I have not found adequate rest, help me lean on you as my strength. Amen.
