Lord, sleep will not come, and the longer I lie awake the more frustrated and anxious I become. Your word gently calls my soul to return to its rest, because You have been good to me; help me hear that invitation tonight. I will not pretend I can force sleep or fix whatever keeps me awake. Instead I hand You the racing thoughts one by one — the worries, the replays, the to-do lists. Ease the tension in my body. Even if sleep is slow to come, let my mind find a measure of peace in Your presence. And in the daytime, help me find practical help for my rest if I need it. Be with me in the sleeplessness, Lord, and quiet my restless soul. Amen.
A prayer for you
Prayer for Insomnia
For the frustrating, anxious struggle when sleep won't come.
“Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.”
