Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 71:1
They came round about me daily like water; They compassed me about together. Psalm 88:17

DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 88
In tonight’s psalm, the author so eloquently expresses his hardships, wrestling with his own mortality. But the psalmist doesn’t stop there: He also directs his pleas to the Lord, looking to Him for help and comfort. God listens to his morning and evening prayers just as He listens to you when you call upon His name. You are never left alone to struggle; God is always with you.

Take a moment now to release your heart’s troubles to Him. Embrace the truth that God is your strength when you’re depleted and your sorrow threatens to overtake you. You can always turn to God to express your deepest fears and worries, knowing He is there every time you call upon Him.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: When we pray to God, we may not always find relief right away, but God's Word makes it clear that He is always with us and listens when we call upon Him. We don't have to be cheerful to come to the Lord; we can come to Him with any and all emotions and find rest. Praise Him for the core He shows by hearing and receiving our prayers.

CONFESSION: Sometimes, when life is hard and we are facing seemingly impossible circumstances, we begin to doubt God’s goodness and faithfulness. Confess any fears and doubts you have. Lift them to God and ask Him to restore your faith in Him.

THANKSGIVING: Think of the ways God has kept His promises in your life. Thank Him for His faithfulness and for the times He has helped and delivered you. Thank Him for comforting you tonight.

SUPPLICATION: Father, I pour out my heart to You tonight without holding back. Sustain me through the circumstances that deplete my strength. Forgive me for doubting You when times are hard. Restore my faith in Your power and presence and help me to truly rest in You as I end this day. Help me to keep my thoughts fixed on You. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

PRAYER
“In you, Lord, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.”
PSALM 71:1
Dear Lord, as I lay here in the quiet of the night, I lift my voice in prayer to the Almighty One. O God, Your righteousness reaches the high heavens, and Your greatness is beyond measure. You who have done great things, who is like You? Your power and wisdom are unfathomable, and I am grateful to be granted another day of life by Your divine mercy. As I close my eyes and let my mind drift away, I ask for Your protection and guidance throughout the night. May Your Holy Spirit envelop me as I rest, guarding me against the darkness and negativity of this world. May Your love and light shine upon me, illuminating my mind and heart, filling me with peace and comfort. Grant me a sweet and restful slumber. May my soul be nourished by Your grace and my heart be filled with joy. Thank You, O God, for Your mercy, love, and grace. In the name of Jesus, I offer this prayer. Amen.
