Goodnight, everybody!

 

An Evening Prayer Posted From Palestine

Amen

 

Gratitude And Good Night!

 

Be careful what you water your dreams with...

"Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.”

--Lao Tzu

Good night, y'all! Sleep well. But if you can't sleep...

 ...then here is a beautiful Islamic prayer to help:

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and all that they shade,

and Lord of the earths and all they carry,

and Lord of the devils and all those whom they lead astray,

protect me from the evil of all your created beings,

lest any one of them transgress against me or oppresses me.

He who is protected b You is mighty,

Your praise is lofty,

there is no other deity but You,

and there is no god save You.

From UNESCO

Good night! But if you're unable to sleep read his prayer and the Islamic etiquettes of sleeping

"O Allah the stars have gone far away and the eyes are rested. You are Alive and Infinite, You do not slumber nor does sleep overtake You. Oh Alive and the Everlasting One, grant me rest tonight and let my eyes sleep (close)."

And see this article:

It is possible for a person to worship Allah through the whole day and night. This does not mean that we spend 24 hours of the day in prayer, rather that we follow the Islamic etiquette for different tasks in whatever we do and this is our worship of Allah. Sleeping is no different, and given the amount of time we spend sleeping, a person should be keen to follow the etiquette of sleeping so as to spend these many hours worshipping their Lord.

Goodnight, y'all! Everyone get a good night's sleep.

An Old Regular Baptist hymn. You can just say it if you don't know the tune.

The day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear.
O may we all remember well
The night of death draws near.

We lay our garments by,
Upon our beds to rest;
So death will soon disrobe us all
Of what is here possessed.

Lord, keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.

 And when we early rise,
And view th'unwearied sun,
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.

And when our days are past,
And we from time remove,
O may we in Thy bosom rest,
The bosom of Thy love.

Bedtime Prayers. Y'all sleep well and we'll catch you in the morning.---But if you're working hoot owl, I'm keeping you in special prayers.

 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.

Good night! An Orthodox & Greek Catholic Evening Prayer And An End-Of-Day Methodist Prayer

A Greek Catholic/Orthodox private evening prayer:

Only-Begotten Word of the Father, Jesus Christ who alone are perfect: according to the greatness of your mercy, do not abandon me, your servant, but ever rest in my heart. O Sweet Jesus, Good Shepherd of your flock, deliver me from the attacks of the devil. Do not allow me to become the prey of Satan's evil intention, even though I have within me the seed of eternal damnation. Instead, O Lord Jesus Christ, adorable God, holy King, while I sleep, protect me by your Holy Spirit through whom You sanctified your disciples. Enlighten my mind by the light of the Holy Gospel, my soul by the love of your cross, my heart by the purity of your teaching. Protect my body by your sacred passion, my senses by your humility, and awaken me in due time for your glorification. For You, above all, are adorable, together with your Eternal Father and Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever. Amen.

An end-of-day Methodist prayer:

Tender shepherd of my soul; make yourself and your way known to me in this evening time of prayer and reflection. Bring awareness of my failures and confidence in your desire and ability to forgive my sins, heal my wounds, and mend my broken places. By the power of your presence bring me to the end of the day whole, complete, and at peace with you, my neighbor and myself. Grant a night of peaceful rest and send me forth tomorrow as a witness to your love and grace.

Note: Both prayers invite reflections on our sins, asking forgiveness, and offering thanksgiving. These lines from the 51st Psalm are helpful:

A clean heart create for me, God;

renew within me a steadfast spirit.

Do not drive me from before your face,

nor take from me your holy spirit.

Restore to me the gladness of your salvation;

uphold me with a willing spirit.

After reflection, asking forgiveness, and praise and thanksgiving these words from the 4th Psalm are helpful:

But you have given my heart more joy

than they have when grain and wine abound.

In peace I will lie down and fall asleep,

for you alone, LORD, make me secure.

Good night, y'all. Sweet dreams!

An Evening Prayer

Let us lift our eyes to the Lord of heaven and thank Him that our day passed peacefully and ask Him to protect us from all evil:

We ask you, O Lord of Peace, to bless and protect every family and every home that needs safety and peace, and protect them from all the forces of evil and evil.

Amen.
