When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.
There is a special quality(?), tone(?), intimacy(?) to prayers and meditations during the still of the night. I'm not sure what the correct word is, maybe all of them. But to lay quietly, perhaps with a collection of hymns and Psalms playing softly in the background, laying out the joys and sorrows of the day is an appropriate way to end my day.
Sometimes I drop off to sleep in the middle of my prayers and sometimes I am stimulated to continue.
Reading
Morning Psalm 126, Noon Psalm 119:57-64, Evening Psalm 23
Alternate Reading Plan based on 7 chapters/day from 7 sections of the Scriptures. My groupings are: Genesis-Joshua, Judges to Esther, Job to Song of Solomon, Psalms breaking 119 into convenient sets, Isaiah to Malachi, Matthew to Acts, Romans to Revelation.
Set your own up in convenient groupings as fits your study habits.
I suggest either setting aside a period of the day to read all, or break the readings up into morning, mid-day, and evening series. Both approaches have their advantages, and both will build an awareness of the Bible as a whole over time.
