Practice of nighttime prayers is a vital part of the family Christian life as it provides us with the chance to thank God, to trust Him, and know that he takes care of us. As the family gathers to pray together and then go to sleep therefore, it becomes as much of a symbol of faith as it can provide the blessing and presence of the Lord in the house. These evening prayers help us not only to provide a peaceful and loving environment but also make us remember that, the true protector is none other than God, the compassion and love of God envelops everyone.
The bible reminds us that we can be sure since God guards us during the night. The Psalms, and all other inspired literature confirm that He is our Guardian and that He walks with us even when we sleep. The nightly prayers are turned into a source of nightly withdrawal of heart-related fears, relieving worries, and creating a reliable spiritual support of the family.
