Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 9:1
Judge me O LORD for I have walked in mine integrity I have trusted also in the LORD therefore I shall not slide.
Psalm 26:1

DEVOTION
Based on Psalm 26
Every day, we can find ourselves in situations where we could become frustrated with elements of our relationships with others. There could be the temptation to retaliate toward someone for the hurt they've caused or frustration for the energy they bring to the relationship. But because of God’s Spirit within us, we can find strength to remain patient and kind, acting toward others with integrity.

Our praise for His wonderful works can ever be on our lips, knowing full well that God will listen to our feelings and work on our behalf. He frees us to remain in His glory, which brings much
needed respite for our souls.

As you release the day, fall into the peace that is yours when you focus on the Savior. He longs for you to come, to rest, and to be in His presence. He knows every detail of your life. His truth is your shield, and your praise toward Him keeps your heart at peace as you sleep.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION:
Relying on God for our needs reminds us that He can do more than we can imagine for our good. He is a God of mercy and justice. He defends us against our enemies with His strength. Take delight in His faithfulness and unfailing love, along with His kindness toward you. Allow the fullness of God's glory to fill your mind. Praise His name and feel the joy lighten your heart and brighten your spirit.

CONFESSION:
Invite Him to examine your mind and heart as you surrender to God. Ask Him to reveal any sins you have committed so that you may ask for forgiveness. Allow His mercy and love to wash over you. Know that God is not a God of shame.

THANKSGIVING:
Think of a time when God has delivered you from an unfair situation. Praise Him for His justice. Praise Him for His faithfulness in your life.

SUPPLICATION:
Lord, I put the challenges I face into Your hands tonight. I will trust in Your wisdom and faithfulness to help me through my trials however You lead. Help me keep my integrity intact and remember that I am a living testimony of Your love, power, and strength, and that is what's most important to You. I love You, and rest in Your care now for a deep and peaceful sleep. All glory to You. Amen.

We must depend on prayer because our mission depends on miracles. Prayer is not preparation for the battle. It is the battle.

PRAYER
“I will give thanks to The Lord with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.”
PSALM 9:1
Dear Lord, I want to praise Your name as I seek to sleep tonight. I want to tuck under Your mighty tower and find rest. You are a powerful pillar in my life. You have been faithful since the beginning and will be faithful until the very end. Remind me of Your wonderful deeds so I might have reassurance for the future. You sit atop a throne of justice, grace, and righteousness. In times of trouble, You will respond. When I am lost, You will seek me out. When I need safety, You will cover me. I have complete confidence in Your will for my life, and I rest easy tonight knowing that my future is secure in Your hands. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
