A Prayer to Ares at Night

Mighty Ares,

Shield of the bold, Guardian of the restless,

As darkness gathers and silence falls, I call to You.

Let me lay down my worries like armor at Your feet.

Ease the tension in my spirit,

Still the battle in my mind.

Let peace not surrender, but sacred rest

Settle upon me like dusk on a quiet field.

Watch over me through the night,

Sword sheathed, heart calm.

Stand at the gate of my dreams

Let no fear cross its threshold.

May I sleep knowing I am protected,

That I have faced the day with courage,

And that even in stillness,

Your strength is with me.

Goodnight, Lord Ares.

May Your presence guard my sleep

And stir my dreams with valor.
