I am sure you have heard this prayer, and have maybe said it yourself or with your children at night.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Angels watch me through the night
And wake me with the morning light
I grew up saying it with my sisters and started saying it with my children awhile ago, but recently we changed the words and I LOVE IT. Now it more closely embodies my prayer for my girls.
I pray that their way home is straight and always lit with a light from above.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Please cleanse my eyes all through the night
So I may follow Your angel’s light
