LORD, when I lie down and sleep may I wake again because You sustain me. Do not let my foot slip; You, Who watches over me and does not slumber. Indeed, You Who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. May I lie down and sleep in Peace, for You alone O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
In vain I rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat; but You grant sleep to those You Love, help me to fall asleep quickly. When I lie down may I not be afraid; when I lie down, may my sleep be sweet; please make these hours feel like eight hours, for You are my Confidence. When I awake and look around may I see that my sleep has been pleasant.
Your Word says that Your angels are mighty; they do Your bidding and obey Your Word. Please Command Your angels to guard me in all my ways, may they lift me up in their hands so I do not strike my foot against a stone. Because I fear You God, send Your angels to encamp around me as I sleep. Thank You, for delivering me and keeping me safe. Amen.

Here’s Cathy’s Prayer from Massachusettes:
