Scripture:
Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. – –
– Genesis 2:3 (NIV)
Even God set aside time to rest while he was creating the world. We may not be creating the heavens and earth, but we still need to be sure to set aside time for rest from our busy lives.
Prayer: Lord, I know that You designed us with a need for rest and recovery, and I pray that You will help me focus on setting aside time for rest so that I can be the best servant possible for You.
Petition: For those in the church who have taken on additional burdens recently to find time for rest and be rejuvenated by God’s Spirit.
