Bedtime Prayer

A Bedtime Prayer for Guidance

You've been overthinking the decision all day — give it to God tonight and let it rest.

God, I've analyzed this from every angle and I'm more confused than when I started. I hand this decision to You as I sleep. Work on my subconscious while I rest. Let me wake up with clarity I didn't go to bed with. Guide me through peace, not just logic.

Some answers only come after you stop chasing them — give it to God and sleep. Amen.

When to pray this

Most of the time the choice is not between an obviously right path and an obviously wrong one. It is between two reasonable options with incomplete information. Ask for the next step rather than the whole map — that is usually what gets given.
