Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 83:3

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! Psalm 100:4

DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 100
Tonight’s psalm invites us to joyfully enter the presence of God and find rest in His truth that transcends time. But how do we do that when we’re burdened by the challenges we’re facing? As much as it goes against our natural inclination, praise, and worship, for even the smallest of things, transforms and lifts our hearts out of despair into the heights of our gracious Lord.

Take a moment to breathe out the day and inhale God’s pure and holy presence. Allow your heart and mind to be still and soak in God’s faithfulness and love for you. Know He is the Lord your God and invite His spirit into your thoughts. Open your heart to Him and allow His truth to comfort you, bringing you His joy and peace.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Meditating on who God is can fill our hearts with joy and peace and comfort us as we prepare for sleep. His Word reminds us that the Lord of all the earth is our creator. Rejoice in the fact that the Lord of all creation is the One who promises to care for you and comfort you every day and every night. Rejoice in the satisfaction that comes only from the Lord. Find peace in His presence.

CONFESSION: Think of the ways you have doubted the faithfulness of God and the truth of His Word, lifting any doubts you have of God’s goodness and the truth of His Word to Him tonight. Ask for Him to help your unbelief and help you find your faith once again.

THANKSGIVING: Come before the Lord with thanksgiving and praise. Thank Him for His provision today. Thank Him for His protection tonight. Thank Him for His love that sustains you and His faithfulness that restores you all the days of your life.

SUPPLICATION: Father, I take great comfort in knowing You are my Shepherd and that You care about every detail of my life. Help my thoughts to be filled with gratitude for all that You do. Let me never take Your goodness for granted. I lift up my cares to You and trust that You will be faithful to me now as You have been in my past. Help me to rest securely in knowing that You will provide for my needs-/ will not be left wanting. Cover me now and through this night.

PRAYER
“They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.”
PSALM 83:3
Heavenly Father, I come to You tonight, humbled by Your sovereignty. I meditate on Your power, knowing that every knee will bow and confess that You are Lord. I invite Your presence to rest on me through the night. As I close my eyes, I imagine being on a boat in the middle of the sea. Though storms may rise against me, I find comfort knowing that You control the winds and the waves. I ask You to help me focus on You in the eye of the storm. Thank You for the times You have delivered and protected me in difficult situations. I thank You, in advance, for the ways You will continue to help me and be my refuge in the future. Sustain me through the night, and give me peace from trusting in Your sovereignty. In Jesus’ mighty and matchless name, I pray, Amen.
