Your Nightly Prayer

• How to Find Peace When Life Won’t Slow Down

  Tonight’s Scripture is Psalm 4:8 (NIV) “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.” 🔗 Read Psalm 4:8 at BibleStudyTools.com 🌾 Evening Meditation When life won’t slow down, when the schedule is overflowing, when even a few quiet minutes with God seem out of reach—is peace still possible? Michelle Treacy reflects on David’s words in Psalm 4, spoken while he fled from his own son, Absalom. Even in betrayal, exile, and heartbreak, David found peace—not in his circumstances, but in his confidence that God would hear him. “God doesn’t need a Pinterest-ready moment to hear us.” Michelle encourages us to embrace this truth: God meets us in the chaos—during dishes, commutes, parenting, and deadlines. When you feel spiritually dry or emotionally overwhelmed, you are not alone. Like David, you can find peace in the middle of your hardest moments—not because everything’s calm, but because God is near. No matter how pulled or pressed you feel, the invitation remains open to rest in the God who makes us dwell in safety. 🙏 Your Evening Prayer Father,In the chaos and fullness of life, when I feel overrun by schedules and the weight of responsibility, help me find my peace in You. Remind me, Holy Spirit, that I can pray as I go, turning each ordinary moment into a sacred one. Thank You that my rest doesn’t depend on how perfectly I perform, but on how fully I trust You. Speak to me—even in the smallest moments—and teach me how to lie down in peace, knowing You are my safety.In Jesus' name, Amen. 🌙 Three Things to Meditate Upon Remember God’s mercy is new every morning.If you missed time with Him today, don’t dwell in guilt. His grace meets you again tomorrow. Turn every task into a holy moment.Whether you’re washing dishes or walking into a meeting, God is present. Speak to Him in the ordinary. Even the shortest prayer matters.Psalm 5:3 says, “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice…” Even a single whispered prayer as you rise is heard by the King of Heaven. 📣 Call to Action 🕊️ Invite peace into your night by subscribing to the Your Nightly Prayer devotional:👉 Sign up here 🎧 Catch more episodes and bedtime devotionals at LifeAudio.com ❤️ Share this episode with a friend who needs a peaceful word before bed.

• Are You Feeling All Used Up?

  Tonight’s Scripture is Acts 17:28 (NIV) “For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, 'We are His offspring.’” 🔗 Explore Acts 17 on BibleStudyTools.com 💭 Something to Ponder Do you ever feel depleted—emotionally, spiritually, physically—as if life, people, or even your faith journey have drained you dry? Lynette Kittle brings a timely reminder that God doesn’t use us the way the world does. Where people may exploit others for personal gain, God pours into us, shaping and strengthening us for His good purposes. He works through us not to take away, but to give abundantly—purpose, strength, joy, and identity. “God has placed His purpose for our lives deep within us… and it is set for completion and brings goodness to this life.” From being formed like clay in the Potter’s hands (Isaiah 64:8) to being filled with His Spirit to accomplish what He’s prepared us for (Philippians 2:13, Ephesians 2:10), we are not empty vessels but divinely crafted ones—made to overflow. So if you're feeling "used up," step back and ask: Am I looking to the world to define my worth? Or am I resting in the assurance that the God who created me has also equipped me? 🙏 Your Nightly Prayer Dear Father,Thank You for fashioning us with care and intention. Thank You that what You place within us is not meant to be drained away by the world, but fulfilled in You. Strengthen us when we feel used up or overlooked, and lead us to walk confidently in the purpose You’ve already prepared. Help us follow You even when we can’t see the next step, trusting You to complete the good work You began in us.In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🌱 Three Things to Meditate Upon Do you feel emotionally or spiritually depleted?Invite God to refill your heart with His joy, peace, and purpose.

• What to Remember When You’re Waiting for a Change

  Tonight’s Scripture is Job 9:10-11 (NIV) “He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.” 🔗 Read Job 9 on BibleStudyTools.com 🔍 Evening Reflection Waiting can feel like being stuck in an emotional fog — heavy, repetitive, and unchanging. In this heartfelt devotional, Keri Eichberger shares what it feels like to live in a holding pattern, craving breakthrough but surrounded by the stillness of routine or long-endured hardship. Whether you're facing a difficult job, chronic health issues, financial instability, or ongoing prayers for a loved one, this message reminds us of a simple yet profound truth: God is working, even when we can’t see it. Through the words of Job, we’re reminded that "He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed" — miracles are in motion even in moments that feel invisible, insignificant, or stagnant. God is not absent in the waiting; He is masterfully crafting something in and through the stillness. “God is working on a masterpiece. Even if you don’t perceive it, His miracles are already in motion.” 🙏 Your Nightly Prayer Precious Father,You are the author of creation and the master of timing. Though I often feel stuck or unseen in my waiting, remind me that Your wonders are at work beyond what I can perceive. Fill me with patience, joy, and hope as I trust in the goodness of what You are preparing. Help me rest in Your sovereignty and wait with a heart full of expectation.In Your Steadfast Name, Amen. 🧠 Three Things to Meditate Upon What change are you longing for?Name the situation where you're waiting, and invite God into it. Where do you sense God at work, even if subtly?Reflect on small signs of His presence — they are often more profound than we first realize. Thank God for unseen miracles.Express gratitude not just for what He’s done, but for what He’s currently doing behind the scenes. “When the days feel still and slow, know that God’s wonders are never idle.” 📣 Call to Action 🕯 Take five minutes tonight to be still before God—release your striving and acknowledge His ongoing work. 💬 Encourage a friend who’s in a waiting season by sharing this episode with them. 📬 Sign up for the Your Nightly Prayer newsletter for daily peace, strength, and spiritual rest:👉 crosswalk.com/devotionals/your-nightly-prayer 🎧 Explore more nightly encouragement at LifeAudio.com Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

• Let Your Love Speak with Wisdom

  Tonight’s Scripture: Philippians 1:9 (NIV) “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight.” 🔗 Read Philippians 1:9 at BibleStudyTools.com 🌾 Evening Meditation Tonight, Britt Mooney helps us explore a compelling question: What does it mean to love with wisdom? In an age of explosive opinions and sharp words, we are reminded that real love isn’t merely emotional—it’s intelligent, discerning, and rooted in truth. Britt uses the vivid image of a Mentos-and-soda reaction to describe how God’s love can erupt from us when we combine it with insight and Spirit-led wisdom. The Greek words used by Paul—epignōsis (experiential knowledge) and aisthēsis (moral insight)—point to love that’s not naive or passive, but formed in intimacy with God and meant for transformation, not argument. This is the kind of love Jesus modeled: bold and truthful, yet tender and healing. It’s the kind of love that heals the broken and draws the wandering home. Tonight, you’re invited to experience God deeply, and allow that experience to overflow into love that speaks with wisdom and integrity. 🙏 Your Nightly Prayer Heavenly Father,Ignite your love in me like a fire. Let it erupt through me with truth, peace, and wisdom—not for show, but for healing and transformation. Help me to experience you daily, to know your voice and your heart. Let your Spirit guide me in love that speaks life and light. Teach me to build up others with words of truth that reflect your grace and compassion.In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🌙 Three Things to Meditate Upon Overflowing MomentsHave you ever witnessed something overflow or erupt unexpectedly? What emotions did that stir in you—and how might that illustrate what it looks like when love explodes from a Spirit-filled life? God’s Loving CorrectionReflect on a time God shared truth with you in love. How did it build you up rather than tear you down? Speaking Truth with LoveThink of someone who may need a word of encouragement or correction. How can you approach them with truth that heals rather than hurts? 📣 Call to Action ❤️ Receive more love-rooted wisdom every evening—sign up for the Your Nightly Prayer newsletter:👉 Subscribe at Crosswalk.com 🎧 More peaceful nighttime reflections await at LifeAudio.com 📤 Know someone navigating a hard conversation?

• How Can I Trust God's Timing While I'm Waiting?

  Tonight’s Scripture Exodus 14:14 (NIV) “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” 🔗 Read Exodus 14 on BibleStudyTools.com 🔍 Evening Reflection Waiting is hard. Especially when our dreams are on the line. In this heartfelt reflection, Amber Ginter invites us into her vulnerable journey as an aspiring author learning to let go of personal striving and surrender to God's timing. Despite multiple rejections and crushed hopes, God met her in her disappointment with the promise of Exodus 14:14: “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Through word studies and quiet prayer, Amber came to understand “being still” not as giving up, but as letting go of anxious striving. In this devotion, you’ll be reminded that God isn’t absent in the waiting—He is actively working, even when the outcome is unseen. When we release our grip on control, we create space for His peace to fill our hearts. “It’s not giving up. It’s the opposite. It’s resting because God is in control.” 🙏 Your Nightly Prayer Dear Jesus,We confess that waiting is not easy for us. In our striving, we often forget that You are still in control, working on our behalf even when we cannot see it. Help us release our timelines and agendas, and teach us how to rest in Your love. Let us trust that You are always fighting for us, always providing, always leading us forward.Amen. 🧠 Three Things to Meditate Upon Read Exodus 14.Journal about how the Israelites had to wait on God—and what it means to trust when circumstances seem impossible. Where do you struggle to trust God?Be honest with Him. Then consider sharing with a trusted friend or mentor for prayer and encouragement. Go deeper into Exodus 14:14.Use a Bible commentary or word study tool to explore the meaning of "be still"—how can this reshape your view of rest? “Cease striving. Be still. Trust the God who holds tomorrow.” 📣 Call to Action 🧘‍♀️ Pause and be still. Carve out five quiet minutes today to sit in God’s presence—no requests, no striving, just trust. 💬 Share this episode with someone who’s in a season of waiting and needs encouragement. 📬 Sign up for the Your Nightly Prayer newsletter for daily peace, purpose, and biblical encouragement:👉 crosswalk.com/devotionals/your-nightly-prayer 🎧 Discover more inspirational episodes at LifeAudio.com Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
