Evening Meditation

As the day winds down, it’s easy for anxious thoughts to flood our minds, especially when the house grows still and the noise of the world fades. In tonight’s calming and hope-filled reflection, Jennifer Slattery reminds us that while we sleep, God’s care never wavers.

Drawing from Psalm 121:7-8, Jennifer shares how the psalmist points to a powerful truth:

“The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”

Just as she comforted her daughter during childhood nightmares, Jennifer invites us to tuck into our hearts the certainty that God’s gaze is always on us. He promises to protect and sustain us—in every challenge, every moment, and every breath.

We can rest tonight, not because the world is safe, but because the God who rules over it never sleeps. He sees every anxious thought and every fear, and His love is stronger than any darkness we face.

🧭 Main Takeaways

Learn how Psalm 121 points to God as the true source of help and safety, no matter what challenges arise.
Find peace in knowing that God’s power and plans cannot be thwarted—His protection is eternal and sure.

🙏 Your Evening Prayer

Lord Jesus,
Thank You for watching over us during the day but also while we sleep. Thank You for remaining alert to our every concern and need.
You never slumber, close Your ears to Your children, or turn Your back on those in need.
You hold all things—every brightly burning star, field of flowers, and human heart—in Your strong yet gentle hands.
You see the evil in the world, but You didn’t leave it unchallenged. Instead, You humiliated the powers of darkness when You triumphed over them through Your death and resurrection.
And You did that for us so that we could live vitally, progressively free.
We rest in those truths. We rest in You.
In Your Name, Lord Jesus, we pray, Amen.
