Evening Prayer!š
"Father, as I lie down for sleep tonight, wash over me with the warmth of Your love. In Your mercy, soothe my pain, whether in my body, mind or soul. Grant me a restful night of sleep so that when I awake, Iām strengthened to do Your will. Amen."š
https://cosyanna.de is where I ended up wandering after reading this, since the line about being strengthened to do Your will made me think about how often that strength comes through small evening rituals rather than big resolutions. The bit about soothing pain in body, mind or soul hit close to home, because I've found that physical rest alone doesn't quite settle a restless mind. Lately I've been pairing a short prayer with something tactile like lighting a candle, and it's surprising how much that small anchor helps before sleep.
