Rest for the Night

Bible Verses for Sleep

When the body is tired but the mind will not rest, Scripture gently turns our attention toward the God who watches over us through the night.

When Sleep Will Not Come

Rest is not something we can always force. We can release the day to God, breathe slowly, and receive the night as a time held in His care.

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.”

Psalm 4:8

“He giveth his beloved sleep.”

Psalm 127:2

“When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”

Proverbs 3:24

A Bedtime Prayer

Lord, I release this day into Your hands. Quiet the thoughts I cannot solve tonight, relax my body, and let me rest in Your protection and peace. Amen.
