Prayer for the Coming Sleep
Svichka.org · 2026-08-29
Evening prayer before bed is a way to end the day with God, give thanks for what has been lived, and entrust the night to His protection. A peaceful night begins with prayer.
Prayer for Sleep
«O Lord our God, I thank Thee for this day and for all Thy blessings. Forgive me the sins committed this day in word, deed, or thought. Cover me with Thy hand this night, grant me peaceful sleep. Guardian Angel, be near. Amen.»
Prayer for Children Before Sleep
«O Lord, bless my children this night. Cover them with Thy protection, grant them peaceful sleep and good dreams. Keep them from all evil. Amen.»
When to Read the Evening Prayer
Read before sleep, when you have already lain down or sat in stillness. Dim excess light, light a lamp or candle. Pray slowly, calmly — and sleep will come peacefully.
Why the Evening Prayer Matters
It puts a full stop to the day: we give thanks for the good, release the bad, and entrust the night to God. A person who prays before sleep rests more peacefully and wakes with lightness.
