How to pray to God before sleeping?

Start by saying whatever is on your mind and in your heart aloud. Be genuine and earnest when you go to God in prayer and always believe and have faith that He hears you and will answer your prayer. Never say a prayer with doubt or disbelief in your heart, otherwise, it will not be answered. God wants us to have faith when we go before Him in prayer, that greatly pleases God. Also, end the prayer with “in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

Think of everything you’re thankful for and say it aloud. Don’t be afraid to thank Him no matter how big or small it is. It can be something as simple as “Lord, thank you for blessing me with wisdom,” or something major like, “God, thank you for placing your hedge of protection over my life, I don’t take it for granted.”

How to pray Psalm 121 for peaceful sleep?

Go to Psalm 121 in your Bible and repeat everything it says aloud. After reading it aloud apply it to your life by saying, “I apply Psalm 121 to my life and I pray that it gives me a peaceful night’s sleep, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.”
