Today, we will look at prayer points before one sleeps. Sleep is a natural phenomenon that occurs to every human. It is a way of resting and relaxing the nerves after a hectic day. In the spiritual realm, sleeping has a lot to do and say for every Christian. When an individual is asleep, he is in-between the physical and the spiritual. He doesn’t know what is happening in the physical realm and most times doesn’t know what goes on in the spiritual realm as well, unless it is revealed to him in a dream while sleeping.
Sleeping is a point where the devil and his agents perpetrate a lot of evil against mankind, therefore it is pertinent that Christians ought to pray before going to sleep. The devil can capitalise on the porous nature of a believer who doesn’t pray at night and attack him with various weapons. Different kinds of attacks can be carried out in the sleep and their effects are very devastating. In Matthew 13:25, the Bible says, “While men slept, his enemies came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.” This shows us that while we sleep the devil is moving about looking for who to devour and when he is done, he goes his own way and leaves the victim to suffer and often die in it. God has made great provision for our destiny, but the devil keeps sowing tares in that great destiny, and most of them are done during our sleep.
God has already made provision for us to always have a sound sleep, He is the one that sustains us while asleep and keeps us safely from the evil one. According to Proverbs 3:24, God said we shouldn’t be afraid when we sleep, because He has promised to make our sleep sweet. This is because He is the one that giveth His beloved sleep (Psalm 127:2). In Jeremiah 31:26, it says, “upon this I awaked, and behold; and my sleep was sweet unto me” this is God’s promise to all of us, His children. In Psalm 121:2-4, “He will not suffer thy foot to be moved, he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” This means that our God denies himself sleep to watch over us while we sleep soundly and in safety. He is ever committed to seeing us safe even in our sleep, making sure that the devil does not sow tares in our lives and destiny.
As much as God is committed to seeing us have a sweet and sound sleep, we also have a part to play by taking the responsibility of praying to him before we go to sleep. God has commanded us to pray always. In Proverbs 6:20,22; “My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee” adhering to the instruction of praying before sleep commits God to keep you from every tear the enemy might want to sow in your life when you are asleep. Psalm 91:1 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” What qualifies us to be under the shadow of God where the perils of the devil can’t come close is dwelling in the secret place of prayer before sleep. We must adhere to this instruction in order for us to be covered in our sleep.
I have outlined prayer points below to help you engage maximally in prayers before you sleep, and as you engage with it, your sleep shall forever be sound and sweet, In Jesus name Amen.
