Bedtime Prayers for Kids

Short, calm prayers to close the day and hand tomorrow back to God.

Simple bedtime prayer

Dear God, thank you for today. Thank you for keeping me safe. Please give me good sleep and good dreams. I love you. Amen.

Jesus, my mind is busy. Please quiet it. Remind me you're right here, closer than my pillow. I trust you with tomorrow. Amen.

Lord, bless everyone in this house tonight. Keep us safe, together, and yours. In Jesus's name. Amen.

Verse to remember

“In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”

— Psalm 4:8

Parent tip

Pray the same short prayer every night for a week — repetition helps little hearts remember God is near.
