Prayer At Night Time

Most loving God, as we prepare to sleep, we thank you for the day in all its glory, we thank God that the hardship of the day did not consume us, we survive the stress of every moment and we rejoice in the love and strength of God.



The power of God guided us

God's might upheld us

The eye of God looked over us

The ear of God listened to us

The word of God spoke to us

The hand of God defended us

The shield of God protected us



From the snares of demons, from the seduction of the vice, from the wicked desires of our nature, from man or woman, boy or girl who plotted against us, near or afar, alone or with others.



Christ be with us, Christ be before us

Christ be after us, Christ be within us

Christ be beneath us, Christ be above us

Christ be at our right hand and left hand

Christ be in the fort and the chariot

Christ be in our heart as we lay to sleep



For all of this and more we pray, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
