Tonight I can rest without fear.

A Bible affirmation for restless nights, rooted in Proverbs 3:24.

When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you rest, your sleep will be sweet.

This promise comes in a passage about walking in God's wisdom. When you've done what you can and trusted God with the rest, there's nothing left to stay awake for. Sweet sleep follows trust.

Father, quiet my fears as I lie down. Let my sleep be sweet tonight.
