Entrusting the House and Those Who Sleep in It

Before falling asleep, many people run through one last mental check: the doors, the children, who's doing well, who hasn't come home yet. It's the care of someone who loves. But there comes a moment when you need to hand the watch over to God. He guards your house, your soul, and those sleeping under your roof, in every way — even the ways you can't imagine. Your watchfulness has limits; His doesn't. Tonight, after doing what's within your reach, hand over the rest to God. You don't have to protect everything by yourself all night long. Place your home and your loved ones in the hands of the Guardian who never sleeps, and rest. The same God who watched over you today also watches over your home as the night passes.
