Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 68:5
Turn us O God of our salvation And cause thine anger toward us to cease. Psalm 85:4

DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 85
Even when we go through times or seasons when we stray from God’s presence, His truth and righteousness work to restore us to Himself because His love for us is so great. It’s comforting to know that He is always ready to forgive and bring us back into His grace.

As tonight’s psalm says, His unfailing love and the joy of His salvation bring the restoration we need to begin again. Breathe out the sorrows and regrets from the day, and inhale God’s life-giving pres­ ence and love. Sook in the strength and renewal His Word of truth gives, and rest in His core. Clear your mind of any distractions by letting go of the anxious thoughts from today and your to-do list for tomorrow, focusing instead on God’s faithfulness and love.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Meditating on God’s love, truth, and righteousness will renew your mind and refresh your spirit, awakening a new longing for the Lord and His ways within you. He will lighten your heart with His forgiveness and love. Praise Him now for His goodness to you.

CONFESSION: Confess any sin the Lord has convicted you of, repenting and asking for His forgiveness. Know His love, poured out for you, covers all your sin and shame.

THANKSGIVING: Rejoice in the righteousness of the Lord, thinking of the ways He has been faithful in your life. Thank Him for the times when He has healed you and restored you. Thank Him for the times when He has blessed you with a plentiful harvest.

SUPPLICATION: Lord, I’m both humbled and grateful I can come to You without fear, knowing Your forgiveness awaits. Your healing and restoration are what I need tonight and every night. I look to You as my Light to guide me
into a safe, quiet place where I can rest. Your faithfulness to me is amazing. All glory to You. Amen.

PRAYER
“A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.”
PSALM 68:5
Dear God, You are a Father to the fatherless and home to the homeless. And when I am aimless, You give me purpose. I pray that You would rain Your abundance on me tonight and refresh my weary mind, body, and soul. Teach me to rest in humbleness and slip into sleep with confidence in Your providence. Relieve my heart of hatred, unburden my soul from bitterness, and empower me with forgiveness. I want tomorrow to be a new day filled with new beginnings and fresh purpose. Fill me anew, Lord Jesus. In Your glorious name, I pray, Amen.Psalm 68:5
