🌟 The Prayer
Heavenly Father,
As this child prepares to sleep, I ask You to surround them with Your peace.
Thank You for watching over them throughout the day and for every blessing You have given.
Lord, I pray now:
✨ Protect them during the night.
Send Your angels to stand guard around their bed.
Let no fear, no worry, and no darkness come near their room.
✨ Calm their heart and mind.
Remove every anxious thought, every sadness, every worry.
Fill their mind with Your light, Your love, and Your gentle presence.
✨ Give them deep, restful sleep.
Let their body be restored, their energy renewed, and their dreams filled with peace.
Let Your presence be the blanket that covers them and Your love the pillow beneath their head.
✨ Bless their tomorrow.
Prepare their steps, guide their thoughts,
and fill their day with joy, courage, and protection.
Lord Jesus,
You welcomed the little ones with open arms.
Hold this child close tonight.
Let them feel safe, cared for, and deeply loved by You.
May Your peace be upon them,
Your angels surround them,
and Your love rest within them.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
