Prayers for Insomnia: 15 Powerful

Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which people have trouble falling and/or staying asleep.

There are a variety of therapies for insomnia, including lifestyle modifications and medicines.

Still, a person of faith should not disregard praying for a miracle, an intercession by God or his angels to alleviate a severe case of insomnia.

There are quite different classes of insomnia. However, it doesn’t matter whether you go through a first-order or a chronic stage of insomnia.

There’s absolutely nothing too difficult for God to do. If you have slipped into insomnia, perhaps because of anxiety, depression, or worry, I have provided prayers for insomnia in this article.

Here are 15 Prayers for Insomnia

 

1. Prayer for Insomnia.

Proverbs 3.24 (NIV)- when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

Heavenly Father, I’m exhausted and stressed because I have difficulty sleeping. When I’m struggling with insomnia, I don’t have the stamina to keep up with everything I have to do each day.

When I can’t sleep and replenish my body, mind, and spirit, I won’t be able to enjoy the tranquility you desire for me. I need your assistance to get the rest I require every night.

You know all the sleep aids I’ve tried that haven’t worked for me: white noise, eye masks, sleeping tablets, and so on.

Please give me the knowledge to figure out what’s causing my insomnia so I can know how to best approach it.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Please send Archangel Gabriel into my dreams to deliver messages that will assist me in becoming healthy in general. When I can’t sleep, please remind me to pray about whatever bothers me.

Father, I plead with you to give me the strength to conquer and stay strong, even when anxiety, depression, and insomnia arise. I ask that you bestow your grace upon me for me to remain calm.

small seeds of doubt continue to sprout in my mind. These doubts lead to stress, sleep disorders, agitation, and consciousness.

Father, I’ve entrusted You with all of my worries. I’ve cast everyone at Your feet, Lord. I admit that a part of me is unsure what to do or how I will get through this trying time in my life.

I’ve attempted to accomplish things on my own in relationships, jobs, economics, and even happiness,

and I’ve learned that the things I crave are often the polar opposite of what is ideal for me. I realize I’ve caused myself pain, sleeplessness, anxiety, worry, and agitation.

Please forgive me for not relying on You as much as I should. Please forgive me for attempting to make things work in my favor.

Sovereign, thank You for the peaceful sleep you desire for me. But Lord,  negative forces always want to oppress me at bedtime with restlessness and agitation.

Therefore In the name of Jesus, Satan, I give you and any evil spirit a notice to quit. Every headstrong spirit or every force that tries to infuse stress,

turmoil, or conscious vigils, your strength is crippled in Jesus’ name. Henceforth, let no force trouble me with restlessness.

In Jesus’ name, Amen

It’s important that you don’t trivialize Satan’s gimmick of thinking that insomnia is infinitesimal.

It’s not! The evil one can take that route to cripple everything good that God desires for you.

Take a cue from God’s word, know His promises of rest and peace for you and bask in those promises to the full even as you pray these prayers for insomnia.
