Three great Roman Catholic bedtime prayers:Goodness Prayer
All-Knowing God, thank You that You know me and You love me. You know everything that has happened to me today, the highs and the lows, the joy and the sorrow. As I lay down to sleep may I reflect on the goodness You have shown me. While I sleep, You continue to watch over me. May the love of the Father, the tenderness of the Son, and the presence of the Spirit, gladden my heart and bring peace to my soul, today and for all days. Amen.
Restful Sleep Prayer
Everlasting Father, thank You that I am never alone, Your presence calms the troubled sea of my life and speaks peace to my soul. Remove the stress that I am carrying from my day and help me rest peacefully in the security of Your hand. Bless me with restful sleep. May You, the God of all grace, who has called me into eternal glory by Christ Jesus, make me holy, strong and filled with peace. To You be glory and honor forever and ever. Amen.
Bedtime Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You that Your word enlightens my eyes, purifies my soul and preserves me for eternal life. As I reach the end of this day I thank You for the many blessings You have bestowed on me. I ask for forgiveness for the sins I have committed today. I pray that, as I sleep, You would restore my strength and empower me for a new day tomorrow. Lord, bless me and keep me, make Your face shine upon me. Turn Your face towards me and give me peace. Amen.
Y'all sleep well and we'll catch you in the morning. If you're working hoot owl, I'm keeping you in special prayers.
