Bedtime Prayer for Toddlers

A very short, sweet prayer parents can say with little ones at bedtime.

“When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”

Proverbs 3:24 (KJV)

Dear God, thank You for today. Thank You for my mommy and daddy, my toys, my food and my bed.

Please keep me safe tonight. Give me happy dreams. Watch over my family and everyone I love.

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Help me sleep sweetly.

I love You, God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Short prayer to remember

Dear God, keep me safe and give me sweet sleep. Amen.
