Monday’s Night Prayer for Protection
Heavenly Father, as this Monday comes to an end, I come to You seeking rest for my tired body and quiet for my mind.

Surround this room with Your angels tonight, Lord. Protect us from harm, shield our minds from late-night fear, and grant us deep, restoring sleep. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
