5 Bedtime Prayers for Worried Hearts

A gift from Two Minute Prayers

1. When You're Worried About Your Children 

As I lay here in my bed tonight,

Thinking of my children's flight,

I place their lives in Your strong hands,

Trusting in Your loving plans.

You watch them when they're far from me,

And guide them where I cannot see.

Hold them close within Your care,

Answer this, my midnight prayer.

2. When Bills Keep You Awake 

These money worries flood my mind,

No peaceful rest my heart can find,

But You, dear Lord,

You know my needs,

And every hungry sparrow feeds.

Help me trust Your faithful way,

As bills and worries on You I lay.

Replace my fears with quiet peace,

Let anxious thoughts tonight now cease.

3. When Your Parents Need More Care 

My aging parents need me so,

Their strength now fading, soft and slow,

My heart feels pulled from day to day,

As I try to find the perfect way.

Grant me wisdom, grant me grace,

To meet each challenge that I face.

Help me trust You'll light the path,

And hold us in Your love at last.

4. When You're Too Exhausted to Pray 

My weary eyes can barely stay,

Awake enough to kneel and pray,

But You see every tired sigh,

And hear my heart's exhausted cry.

These drowsy words are all I bring,

Like sparrows with a broken wing,

Yet in Your arms I gently rest,

My tired prayers by You are blessed.

5. When Tomorrow Feels Overwhelming 

Tomorrow's tasks can wait till then,

When morning light breaks in again,

For now I'll rest beneath Your wings,

Where peace flows like eternal springs.

Your grace will meet me with the sun,

When next day's race must be run,

But here, tonight, I'll simply be,

In Your sweet presence, finally free.

Print this card and keep it by your bedside for those nights when worry keeps you awake.

Each prayer takes just 30 seconds to whisper.

Remember: God treasures every tired prayer.
