Calming nighttime prayers to help you sleep in peace. Large-print friendly.

Lord, the darkness is pressing in tonight, and with it comes an unease that I cannot fully explain. Something about the night makes me feel vulnerable — exposed — as if the things I can push away during the day have more power in the quiet hours. But Your Word reminds me: "If I say, 'Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, the light around me will be night,' even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you." — Psalm 139:11-12
