Many want God’s protection, but not everyone prays before bed. Some who do don’t put their heart into it.
Nighttime prayers are super important. At night, dark forces are out to harm those whose faith isn’t strong. But God’s angels also watch over His children at night. The Bible says if you resist the devil, he’ll run away (James 4:7).
If you pray before bed and feel calm and peaceful afterward, you’re like those mentioned in Psalm 34:7:
“The Lord’s angels protect those who honor Him and rescue them.”
Night prayers don’t have to be at midnight, just some prayers before sleeping. A lady got attacked at night because she forgot to pray. I want to challenge you now.
If you don’t pray before sleep or feel like your faith has weakened, challenge yourself today to start again.
