Scared to sleep
Deanna Stanley
As I lay me down to sleep, I grab all my comfy things that make me feel complete. I plug in my Blankley and grab my lovey in the hopes that I feel something love me.
As I lay here awake, I think of my day. All the things that I accomplished and the things that went array.
I say all my prayers and thank God for this day and as my prayer goes on, I ask Him to keep bad and evil away.
I pray for my family, my health and my home. I pray that tomorrow is something we will all get to know.
I pray for comfort and peace in every kind of way. I pray that God will protect me again for another day.
As I lay me down to sleep, I ask for forgiveness and strength for things I never knew I'd need.
I ask that God not leave me alone, no matter if I'm awake or asleep.
As I lay me down to sleep, I pray for good thoughts, and I pray for good dreams.
I ask for the blessing and wisdom of understanding if I'm "in the world" or being given a life lesson.
I dream every night, sometimes I don't remember but I know that I've dreamt since my body's craving slumber.
So, Lord, Jesus as I lay me down to sleep, I ask that you hold me and protect me from the fear of my dreams.
-Amen
