A Prayer for Peaceful Sleep by Paige Collins

Few things unsettle a mother’s heart like a child waking in the night, frightened and inconsolable.
In this episode by Paige Collins, we talk honestly about that ache, the helplessness we feel in the dark hours, and the responsibility we carry as mothers who long to protect our children.

Psalm 4:8 reminds us of a powerful truth: our children’s safety does not rest on our vigilance, worry, or late-night searching for answers. It rests in God alone. While we take practical steps to care for our children, we are also invited to stand in spiritual authority—anchoring our parenting in prayer and God’s promises.

Reference: Psalm 4:8

Prayer: Heavenly Father, as a mother covered by Your grace, I boldly declare Your promise of Psalm 4:8 over my child tonight, that my child will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone make him dwell in safety. I ask you to guard my child’s mind and spirit against nightmares, night terrors, and every harmful influence, and replace his/her fears and worries, with your perfect peace and supernatural comfort. In Jesus’ name, amen.
