The prayer before bed is a way of reminding God to always be there and give us a day of peace, leading us to do good things so that we can get through the days of sorrow. Besides, you can offer to God your faults to ask God to purify and help you sleep peacefully, and may God always be there to protect you.

“We ask the Holy Spirit to be infinitely bright, we ask the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts, who trust God, and to light the fire of love for God in our hearts, we ask God to bring down the Holy Spirit. Fix everything inside but us.
We pray to God, who has brought down the Holy Spirit and taught the Apostles, and we ask God to bring down the Holy Spirit, to comfort us to do good works, for the great industry Jesus Christ is our Lord. Amen.”
Recite the prayer of repentance
“My Lord, you are perfectly good. You made me and gave birth to your Son, suffered to die for me, and I betrayed you with all my heart, and I grieved and hated all my sins above all things. I am willing to repent, and by the grace of God, I will shun the occasion of sin, and work together to atone for my sins. Amen.”
Recite the Word of God prayer
“Jesus, you promised to be with us every day until the end of the world. We believe you are present among us here. May you give your Holy Spirit, that you may teach us to listen to your Word, to know and love you more/ to courageously do what you teach us. Amen.”

On the third day the dead rises; ascending to the right of the Father; the next day because heaven judges the living and the dead. I believe there is a church all over the world, saints in fellowship. I believe in forgiveness. I believe the latter-day human body is resurrected. I believe in life. Amen.”

Those who make God’s people, night and day, rely on him for help, for he is very good or infinitely merciful, will forgive all sins, who make his people change.

The cross for me, which gave me the sanctity of God, and bore many blessings to the Church, and gave my body day (night) all good, saved me again, lest I die repentant.
So if the Saints are in the kingdom of Heaven, thank God, I will join the Saints and give them to my Lord, thank you the same. Amen.”
