10 Worship Songs For A Peaceful Nights Sleep
After a hard day at work, study or with family, preparing our minds to rest, can be challenging. Bedtime is the moment, where we should feel at peace and in contentment.
It is a time when we can switch our worries and troubles, into calmness and restfulness.
Taking a few minutes, to create an atmosphere of rejoicing and gratitude can invite the Holy Spirit in, allowing us to experience a fulfilling sleep and a spiritual upliftment, in our time of need. As we know, music is a great way, to set the scene for sleep.
According to the Sleep Foundation music has been shown to decrease levels of a stress hormone called cortiso (which regulates our body's stress response) and playing music before bed may decrease the time it takes to fall asleep and improve sleep quality.
The Heart of Worship
Listening to gospel music and hymns is one of the best ways to rest peacefully in God’s presence.
It gives us time, to really appreciate and resonate with the goodness of his word, bringing us a sense of harmony and well-being.
For an amazing fulfilling YouTube Experience, here are 10 worship songs, that I enjoy listening to, to remind me to be still and know that God is with me.
I hope you find them calming and soothing too!
1. Tori Kelly - Never Alone
When I listen to Never Alone, it reminds me of the beauty of receiving God’s love.
He always reminds us and reassures us, that even through our struggles and our lowest moments, we are never alone, for he will never leave nor forsake us.
So as we rest ourselves to sleep, we can close our eyes with consolation, knowing that we have a guardian who is always with us unconditionally.
2. Deitrick Haddon - He's Able
The day we had may have been vigorous and we may be going to bed, with hurt and confusion.
However, when we learn to rest in God’s care, he will show us that He’s Able to give us more than we could ever imagine.
It may take some time to understand, but as we close our eyes, may we rest on the covenant, that God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all we ask or think.

As we lay in bed, looking up at the ceiling, there must be a thousand thoughts, running through our minds.
However, as we concentrate carefully on this beautiful song, our eyes will look past the four walls we are confined in and we will find ourselves, saying “God I Look To You”.
Seeking and looking to God in our moments of weariness, will remind us, that he is the source of our wisdom and our strength, every day and every night.
4. Sound of Heaven Worship - Draw Me Close To You // Jesus At The Center
Draw Me Close To You, is one of the sweetest songs, that has blessed my ears.
When the world’s chaos, becomes too much and the feeling of disconnection takes place, finding our way into God’s company, will reconnect us, to everything we desire, according to his will.
So as we take ease in knowing that we are special and we are fortunate to have a God, who is gracious and merciful, we can sleep in hope and faith, another night.
5. VaShawn Mitchell - Turning Around For Me
Having a peaceful night’s sleep, is crucial, for our physical and mental well-being. Bedtime is the period, where we can feel that things are Turning Around for us.
Embracing this message can help us remember that even through the toughest moments, our circumstances and situations can turn around by faith and not by sight.
6. Brian Courtney Wilson - Worth Fighting For
Have you ever fought so hard throughout your day and wished that someone could fight on your behalf?
Fighting for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual strength, just to get by?
We do have a God, who sits high and looks down to guide us, to listen to us, to elevate us and most of all, to remind us that we are worthy, we are valued, we are loved and we are “Worth Fighting For”.
So as we worship God once more, may we be comforted by His unconditional and unfailing love.
7. Nicki Minaj (feat. Tasha Cobbs Leonard) - Blessings
As we know, going to bed angry or frustrated is very unpleasant and not good for our mental well-being.
So being able to go to bed with a grateful mindset, can help increase our quality of sleep, plus fewer disturbances, which would be a bonus for some of us!
Listening to “Blessings” will remind us of the many blessings in our lives, whether it’s the simple joy of waking up each morning or the comfort of returning home to our beds.
This song celebrates gratitude and spirituality, which is definitely a good attitude to have, as that will help us to fall asleep with a positive outlook.
8. Let It Rain - SONNIE BADU
There is something truly beautiful about the rain that fills me with wonder.
Especially at night, when the world is quiet and I can hear the tender rhythm of the raindrops, it brings a sense of peace and clarity.
So next time you are snuggled in bed and hear the raindrops against your windows, or even if you are standing out in the rain, let it wash over you and immerse yourself in the moment.
Allow “Let It Rain” to enhance the meaning of the moment and deepen your spiritual connection.
May you feel the power, glory, and presence of God overflowing with every drop. Let it rain, and let it fill your soul with serenity and divine wonder.
9. CeCe Winans - Come Jesus Come
Today may have been a difficult day, filled with many emotions and challenges, but resting on the word and promise of God can bring a sense of order and peacefulness, which is essential before bedtime.
“Come Jesus Come” is such a warming, touching and heartfelt song, which I have on repeat, allowing me to embrace the goodness and the grace of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
The song conveys the need for strength and hope that can only come from a higher power and it is relatable to many of us, who find ourselves seeking comfort and guidance in times of hardship.
So if you need consolation tonight, remember that Jesus is always with you.
10. H.E.R., Tauren Wells - Hold Us Together
Reducing stress before we snuggle down in bed, is so important, as it restores the balance to the body’s system, which will improve our mood and will lead us to have a better quality of sleep.
How do we achieve this?
By letting go of the worries that we have had throughout the day and immersing ourselves in worship.
If we are feeling discouraged, remember we have a God, who loves us, who cares for us, who believes in us, and a God who will Hold Us Together.
