However, even this prayer has several types, so before you start reading it, you need to understand what each of them means and learn the words of those prayers that you are going to say.

Rules for reading prayers before going to bed

Before you begin to pray before going to bed, it is very important to remember for yourself the evening rule of prayer for a future dream so that your prayer words are heard by God and give you reassurance, absolution and a good night's sleep. And this rule consists in chanting gratitude to God and turning to him with a request for protection from evil thoughts, which often overpower people when they go to bed. Therefore, you need to read a prayer before going to bed, trying to discard all daily worries, chores and thoughts, forget about all the bad things, think only about the good things, so that the soul can completely clear itself of the negative. In addition, it is very important before such a prayer to forget about all the insults that were done to you during the day and forgive the offenders from the bottom of their hearts. And finally, before praying, it is necessary to remember all your mistakes and sins that happened days, and ask for forgiveness from them the Lord merciful.

A very important point of the evening rule of prayer is the choice of the place of conversation with God. This must be a quiet, peaceful place where you feel protected. It is there that you will need to light a candle in front of the icon, clear your thoughts of everything evil, if possible, kneel down and give yourself a sign of the Cross. Only after that it will be possible to begin to read the evening prayer, which in its structure should consist of five parts:

• preparation for prayer with an appeal to God and thanksgiving to him;
• repentance with the blessing of light;
• the words of God, consisting of a psalm, a song and a reading from the Holy Scripture;
• prayers to the Guardian Angel and the Lord;
• conclusions with Grace and Blessing.

But if you don’t have time for the full text of the prayer service, according to the evening rule of prayer for sleep, you can get by with the usual appeal to God in simple language, preceding it by reading the prayer “Our Father”, familiar to everyone since childhood.

The types of prayers that are read before going to bed

Before turning to God with prayer, it’s very important to choose a prayer in advance that you will read before going to bed. In total there are 3 types of evening liturgies.

1. Prayer petitions are those prayer words that are uttered by people in distress and grief. Such a prayer can be attributed to the evening prayer of Macarius the Great: “God, cleanse me from sinners, for I have never done anything good and good to you. Deliver me from the evil one, let Thy will be done for that. And let me open my mouth with impunity. unworthy, in order to praise Thy name and the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit now and forever, and forever. Amen! "
2. Thanksgiving prayer is our prayer speech in which we thank God for today, our health, well-being and way in the family.
3. Prayer-glorification is the glorification of God that is present at the end of every prayer. However, you can pronounce it separately, praising the Lord and singing a song of praise to him.

But if you are experiencing a breakdown or get sick, you can do a short evening prayer, which will give strength and allow you to fall asleep in a calm sleep.

The simplest prayers for the coming dream

If you don’t know which prayer to read before you go to bed, you can say the simplest of them, the reading of which is possible even while lying in bed.

• “In the name of the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen! O Son of God, Jesus Christ. I pray to you for the sake of your Blessed Mother, the Rev. Our Father and all saints. I beg you, have mercy on us. Glory to you, Lord, glory, King of heaven! Amen!".

But besides this shortest service, there is another evening prayer for beginners, which should be said every time before going to bed, putting your heart in every word.

• “O King of all things, all-merciful God! I tearfully ask you, forgive me my sins that I created this afternoon with my thoughts, deeds, or deeds, and cleanse me, Lord, my humble soul from all filth. And give me, please, a peaceful sleep in the night, so that, getting up from the bed in the morning, I served your Most Holy Name on every day of my life. And save me, Lord, from the lust of evil and vain thoughts, so that I, the servant of God (full name), glorify the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen!".

Praying before children go to bed

Children also need to be taught from a young age to talk with God. But since they themselves still cannot remember the words of the prayers, instead of them you should read the evening prayer to them, becoming an intermediary between your child and the Lord. These prayers will give the children a sound sleep full of colorful dreams, after awakening from which they will feel full of strength. The first of these prayers will be “Our Father”, and after it it will be possible to read the children’s prayer for Our Lady of Kazan, the prayer “God, if I sin in the present day ...” and the prayer to the Guardian Angel, which the child can not only listen to, but and pronounce it yourself.

• “The cross is on me and in me, so fly, my angel, to me!” Sit next to me on the wing and help save the Lord from evening to dawn, from this day to the end. ”

In addition, you can call the Guardian Angel to protect the child’s sleep in other prayer words.

• “In the name of the Lord our God! To me, savior-baptists! Intercede for my soul, turn to it! In the name of the Father, and his Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

And of course, according to the evening rule of prayer, to read these prayers is in a calm, relaxed mood, having rejected all worries, troubles and worldly evil thoughts. If something happened on this day, and you cannot put bad thoughts out of your head, it’s better not to pray the child in the evening, otherwise the result will be completely different.
