Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 85:1

Lord, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.”
PSALM 85:1

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
“Lord, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.”
PSALM 85:1
Dear God, tonight as I lay my weary head upon my pillow, I will close my eyes and be consumed with ways to bless You. In this moment of peaceful silence, before I am whisked away to peaceful sleep, I seek to hear Your loving voice. Your words bring comfort and peace, but they also bring purpose. I know there is no joy without finding purpose in You. So I pray that You would reveal Your will, release me from restlessness, and give me responsibility. Yes, Lord, set a path before me so I might walk faithfully. Only then will I be able to lay my head down and be at peace, knowing that I ran a good race, fought a good fight, and endured difficulty for the sake of Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, I trust. In Jesus’ name, I follow. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
