Night
Prayer Before Sleep
For a mind that won't settle at bedtime.
God, my body is still and my thoughts are not.
Slow them, one by one. Take tomorrow out of my hands; it is not mine to carry yet. Let my breathing become a quiet prayer: You are here, I am safe, I can rest.
Give me sleep, and gentleness with myself if it comes slowly. Amen.
