A comforting bedtime prayer - Laurie

I just want to share this nice bedtime prayer for those who like to pray before going to sleep each night.  When I was a little kid we always said the usual prayer that littles ones do about  "now I lay me down to sleep, etc."  This one somehow reminds of that prayer from my youth only now it is very comforting to pray this one as an adult. 

The Sun has gone down from the sky,

And peace of night is drawing nigh.

I pray, Dear  God my soul you'll keep,

While in Your loving arms I sleep.

Forgive the things I did today

When from your glorious path I'd stray.

And when I slumber through the night,

Please take my hand and hold it tight.

And when I awake to a bright new morn,

Restored, refreshed, renewed, reborn,

I'll try again, Dear God, to be

The person You would hope of me.

I hope this prayer brings peace and comfort to all who read it, just like it did for me when I discovered this on my mom's desk in her house, the day we thought she was going to die.  Thankfully, she made it, but this prayer went home with me, and I have used it often.

God bless everyone!
