Prayer for sleep

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 hear the cries of Your children. We ask that You would stretch forth Your healing hand upon this dear one, easing every ache and discomfort that disrupts their rest. Your Word declares that by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we stand on that promise today.
Lord, we also ask that You quiet the mind and still the spirit of this beloved child of Yours. The psalmist wrote, *"I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety"* (Psalm 4:8). We pray that this truth would settle deep into their heart, casting out fear, anxiety, and restlessness. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus as they seek to rest in You.
We rebuke every spirit of insomnia, pain, or torment that seeks to steal this precious time of restoration. The enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We declare that this night will be different. We speak peace over their body, mind, and soul, commanding every cell to align with Your perfect design for wholeness.
Father, if there is any unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or burden weighing on their heart, we ask that You bring it to light so it may be surrendered at the foot of the cross. Your Word tells us that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We pray for a spirit of repentance and release, that nothing would hinder their fellowship with You or their ability to receive Your rest.
We also encourage this dear one to meditate on Your promises as they prepare for sleep. Fill their mind with Scripture—perhaps *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28)—and let Your truth be the last thing they hold onto before drifting into Your care. Remind them that You give Your beloved sleep (Psalm 127:2), and that even in the watches of the night, You are working for their good (Psalm 16:7).
Lord, we thank You in advance for the healing and rest that is coming. We trust in Your faithfulness, knowing that You are the God who never changes (Hebrews 13:8) and who delights in answering the prayers of Your people. May this one wake refreshed, renewed, and filled with gratitude for Your tender mercies, which are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
