Prayers at the End of the Day

(pick just one to say or learn - perhaps at bedtime)

“Lord Jesus, stay with us for evening is at hand and the day is past. Put away from us every anxious thought, having ended the labors of the day in Your sight and committing our task, ourselves and all we love into your keeping so that, as the night comes, we may receive from you the gift of sleep. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.”

“The Lord Almighty grant us a quiet night, that we may lay down in peace and take our rest. For it is you, Lord, only that makes us dwell in safety. You, O Lord, are in the midst of us and we are called by your name. Guard us, Lord, in our rest and in our waking. Amen.”

“The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and peace at the last. Amen.”

“Remain with us, Lord, for the day is far spent and the evening is at hand. Kindle our hearts on our way that we may recognize you in the Scriptures and the breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of your love. Amen.”
