Day 26Goodnight, Lord

The Night Also Belongs to God

The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Psalm 74:16

Sometimes we treat the night like no-man's-land, as if God's care only counted during the day. But the night belongs to Him too. The same God who governs the light governs the dark. There is no corner of the small hours where you fall outside His reach. Whatever feels scariest at night still lies, every moment, under God's rule. That changes how you face bedtime: you're not stepping into dangerous, ownerless territory. You're resting inside something that belongs to your Father. Tonight, hand the night over to the One who is its Lord. The dark does not separate you from God — it, too, is in His hands.

Prayer

Father, the night is Yours as much as the day. I rest knowing the dark does not frighten You and that I am under Your rule. Keep me until morning. Amen.
