bedside prayer
Kneeling evening worship
A bedside prayer is a prayer said kneeling beside one's bed, typically before sleep.
The practice is especially associated with childhood religious upbringing—a parent teaching a child to pray at night.
She knelt for her bedside prayers, He still says his bedside prayers every night.
The phrase evokes intimate, private devotion rather than formal worship.
