Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 80:3

Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. Psalm 97:11

DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 97
Tonight, allow yourself to relax and experience a deep peace that comes from God. Breathe in His power and love; breathe out your fears and worries. Lift your weaknesses to Him and open your eyes to the presence of the Lord around and within your being.

As you read this wonderful song of praise, take delight in His glory and lift your spirit to rejoice in His name. Know that the Lord reigns over all the earth as well as your life. There isn’t anything you are facing that He isn’t aware of. If you cast your burdens to Him, He will receive them and reassure you in His loving care. Feel His joy warm your heart and refresh your soul as no one or nothing else can.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: The Bible tells us that nature reveals the glory and the power of its Creator. The lightning flashes His brilliance and strength; the mountains display His majesty and power; the fire demonstrates His sovereignty as it consumes His enemies by day and guides His people by night. Know that the same power that sends bolts of lightning across the sky, that forms and moves mountains, and that sets the fire ablaze is the power protecting you and preserving you tonight.

CONFESSION: Think of something in your life you prioritize over God. It could be a person such as a spouse or a child; it could be a job or a hobby. Confess this wrongful prioritization to God and ask for His forgiveness. Ask for Him to help you prioritize spending time with Him above all else.

THANKSGIVING: Rejoice in the Lord. Thank Him for revealing His glory to you and shining His light upon you in the darkness of the night. Thank Him for the times when He has protected you. Thank Him for the times when He has delivered you.

SUPPLICATION: Father, I cast my cares on You tonight. Help any unbelief that lingers as I navigate living in a fallen world. Help me to remember that You reign, that You will protect me, that You will sustain me as I seek Your face and Your will for my life. May Your light guide my steps and keep me from temptation. Let Your favor rest on me tonight and into tomorrow as I dwell in Your peace. In Jesus' name. Amen.

PRAYER
“Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.”
PSALM 80:3
Dear Lord, tonight I ask for restoration. Many events in the day seek to slowly strip away my joy. As the day draws to a close, I want to rejoice in the victories and ask for healing from the tragedies. Restore me, oh God, and shine on me in the night. Let me see Your face before I lay my head down to sleep. I want to see Your splendor and glory and be renewed for whatever tomorrow brings. Restore any parts of my soul that have wandered from You as I tuck myself into the night's peaceful refuge. Bring me to a place of peace, and forgive me for my sins. Restore me, oh God, and shine Your light. Heal me from wounds and burdens tonight. In Jesus’ Name Amen. 🙏🏾
