Bless May in her sleep
Here’s a heartfelt prayer for your sweetheart, woven with scripture, asking God for rest, peace, and relief from insomnia:
---
**A Prayer for Beloved’s May Goodnight sleep**
Gentle Healer, Keeper of the stars,
I lift to You my love, whose peace insomnia mars.
Their body weary, mind in restless flight,
Draw them close beneath Your calming light.
**"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18)**
Meet them now, in this quiet, anxious space,
And hold them in Your everlasting grace.
Silence the whispers that torment the night,
Replace each worry with Your healing might.
**"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." (John 14:27)**
Let Your perfect peace, a soothing tide,
Wash over them, with You as their true guide.
**"In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves." (Psalm 127:2)**
Father, grant the sleep that You design,
Deep and restoring, truly divine.
Relax each muscle, calm each racing thought,
The restful haven their exhaustion sought.
Guard their mind from shadows, fear, or strain,
Break insomnia’s unrelenting chain.
**"He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber... The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life." (Psalm 121:3,7)**
Your watchful eyes see through the darkest hour,
Surround them with Your protective power.
Renew their strength as only You can do,
With dawn’s fresh mercies, faithful, pure, and true.
**"Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23)**
Grant them waking joy, a spirit bright,
Bathed in Your restorative morning light.
And bless me too, Lord, with a patient heart,
To love and serve them, playing my own part.
**"Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)**
Help me be Your comfort, gentle, kind,
A channel of Your peace for them to find.
We trust in You, our Shepherd and our Shield,
The source of rest no earthly balm can yield.
Tonight, tomorrow, and through every trial,
Sustain my sweetheart with Your tender smile.
**Amen.**
