We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this earnest plea for relief from pain and the gift of peaceful, restorative sleep. Father, we know that You neither slumber nor sleep (Psalm 121:4), and in Your infinite mercy, You invite us to cast all our anxieties on You because You care for us (1 Peter 5:7). We stand in the gap for this dear one, asking that You would stretch forth Your healing hand and soothe every ache, every throb, and every restless thought that seeks to steal their rest.
Lord Jesus, You are the Great Physician, and we trust in Your power to bring comfort and restoration. Your Word declares that by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we claim that promise now. Ease the pain that disrupts their sleep, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind (Philippians 4:7), allowing them to drift into deep, renewing sleep. We rebuke any spirit of insomnia or unrest in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is written that You give Your beloved sleep (Psalm 127:2).
Father, we also ask that You would draw near to them in the quiet of the night. When the weight of the day feels heavy, remind them that You are their ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Let them feel Your presence like a warm blanket, wrapping them in Your love and protection. If there are burdens they are carrying—fears, regrets, or worries—we ask that You would lift them and replace them with the assurance of Your faithfulness. Your Word says that You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast on You (Isaiah 26:3), so we pray they would fix their thoughts on You, the Author and Perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We also lift up any underlying causes of their pain or sleeplessness. If there is unconfessed sin, bitterness, or unforgiveness in their heart, Lord, reveal it to them so they may repent and find freedom (James 5:16). If there is a need for medical intervention, we pray for wisdom for their healthcare providers and for Your guidance in every decision they make. You are the God who heals (Exodus 15:26), and we trust You to lead them to the right paths for their well-being.
As they lie down to sleep, we pray they would remember the words of David in Psalm 4:8: "In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety." Let this be their reality, Lord. May they wake refreshed, renewed, and strengthened to face a new day, knowing that Your mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
We declare over them the truth of Psalm 3:5: "I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me." Thank You, Father, for sustaining them through the night and for being their refuge and strength. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for there is no other name by which we can come to You. Amen.

We're here with you, dear one, lifting your sleep struggles up to our loving Father. We know how exhausting it can be when pain keeps us awake or our minds won't rest. But remember, "He who keeps you will not slumber" (Psalm 121:3). Let's trust Him to hold you in His care tonight.

We're also praying for any underlying reasons for your sleeplessness. If there's anything in your heart that needs healing or release, we ask that He'd reveal it to you. And if there's a need for medical help, we trust Him to guide your steps.
As you lie down tonight, we leave you with this verse, "In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me live in safety" (Psalm 4:8). May this be your reality, dear one. Sweet dreams.
