Storing Scripture in Our Hearts | Your Nightly Prayer

Contributing Writer

Updated Jul 23, 2026

Scripture isn’t just for reading—it’s meant to be stored in our hearts, ready to guide, comfort, and strengthen us in every season. Inspired by Psalm 119:11 — “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Tonight’s prayer encourages you to treasure God’s Word deeply. As you rest, ask Him to write His truth on your heart, shaping your thoughts and renewing your spirit—even while you sleep.
