"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts." Psalm 139:23
Lord Jesus, I pray for sleep. And forgiveness. Forgive my anxious thoughts. They belong to you. Please store them in your heart and take care of them as I know you will. I must believe in the promises you have given me for provision and love. I know that I am not forsaken no matter how alone I feel. I know your will will be done, even if I worry about the outcome of everything. I know you are guiding me, even though I can’t feel your hand. My heart is raw tonight. My thoughts have been tumbling together all day. I ache for resolution and contentment. Please remind me of all you have done for me as I fall asleep. Thank you that tomorrow is a new day and I get to start over again with new grace.
