ئەپەکە بەدەست بهێنەWorking From Rest: A Prayer Journeyنموونە
The Gift of Rest
Lord, please forgive my resistance in coming to you. Forgive me when I am preoccupied with tasks and ignore your presence.
Who is this gift of rest for? For those who are weary and burdened – those who most need it! But perhaps, also, those who are most resistant to it, saying ‘I don’t have time to rest’; ‘I cannot rest with all that needs doing’; ‘If I rested, I would just worry’. Jesus is not oblivious or unrealistic about our situations. His invitation is to come as we are, laden with stresses and strains, burdens and worries.
For reflection: What burdens are you aware of?

About this Plan
Sabbath rest is essential to our identity as God’s people: a gift to refresh us and equip us for good work. But many of us find it hard to do. This prayer journey will help you explore the reasons for restlessness, God’s gift of rest, and how your work – in your job, your home, or your street – can flow from that place of rest and connection with Him.
