To pray as you go to bed, when the day keeps turning in your head. Handing over what is unfinished before closing your eyes is an old custom of night prayer.
Lord, the day is ending
and I place in your hands all that it was:
what I did well, what I left undone,
what hurt me and what I could not say.
What I could not resolve today
I entrust to you, who never sleep.
Calm my mind and ease my body;
let my breathing slow
and my heart rest in you.
Watch tonight over those I love
and over those who have nowhere to rest.
May my guardian angel stay with me,
and may I wake tomorrow in your peace.
Amen.

If the distress will not let go
This prayer offers company, but it does not replace medical care or the help of a mental health professional. If you feel you cannot go on or are thinking of harming yourself, ask for help today.
