Lord, at the end of this day I come back to you. Thank you for everything that went well, for the people who were kind to me and for the strength you gave me.
Forgive me for what I did wrong today, for impatient words and for the good I failed to do. Help me also to forgive those who hurt me.
I place in your hands everything that is still unfinished: the worries, the problems and the plans for tomorrow. I do not need to carry them through the night.
Watch over my home and my family while we sleep. Comfort those who are sick, alone or awake with sadness tonight.
Give me a peaceful sleep and wake me tomorrow with a grateful heart. Into your hands I commit my spirit. Amen.
