Working From Rest: A Prayer Journeyنموونە
Trust and Renewal
Holy Spirit, teach me to rehearse God’s character and strength, instead of my worries.
Often our inability to rest physically is because our minds are anxiously going round and round, rehearsing potential negative outcomes. This breeds fear and emotional exhaustion. Anxiety is a faith issue. God’s renewal is given to those who trust in Him. This trust cuts through our worries and enables us to wait expectantly for God’s word or action, knowing that He rules in strength and gentleness (Isaiah 40:10-11).
For reflection: What areas of your life are difficult for you to entrust to God?

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.
