A Simple Prayer for Peaceful Sleep

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Fount of all grace and mercy,

To You alone do I lift my soul in praise, for You are worthy of all glory, honor, and adoration. I humbly beseech Thee, Lord Jesus, to enter this, my dwelling, and the very chamber of my heart. With the breath of the Holy Spirit, Your Consoler and Advocate, fill every corner of my home with Your Divine Presence. Let the peace that surpasses all understanding envelop me and my loved ones, a bulwark against the anxieties of this world.

As the shadows of evening gather and I prepare to surrender to slumber, I implore Your most powerful protection. Be Thou my shield and my fortress, O Lord, against every snare and deception of the enemy. Defend me, Mighty Savior, from all that would seek to steal away the serenity of this night. By the power of Your Holy Name, Jesus, I cast out all fear, all nightmares, and all spiritual assaults that might attempt to trouble my rest.

Lord Jesus, Son of the Living God, grant me the gift of sound and peaceful repose. Shelter me beneath the protective shadow of Your mighty wings, as a mother hen gathers her chicks. I place my complete faith and unwavering trust in Your boundless love, knowing that You, my Good Shepherd, will watch over me through the dark hours and lead me safely into the dawn.

For You are my refuge and my strength, my rock and my redeemer. To You, O Christ, I offer all honor, glory, and praise, now and forevermore.

Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and all the Angels and Saints, hear my prayer.

Amen. Alleluia.
