Working From Rest: A Prayer Journeyنموونە
Working from Rest
Lord Jesus, as I think of all I need today, I present my requests to you.
As we near the end of our 40-day journey, let’s summarise our reflections and prayers. We live in societies geared to 24/7 production and consumption – restless cultures characterised by profound anxiety. In this context, the God of rest commands us to put boundaries around our work (the Sabbath). Christians are not to live self-reliant lives based on our own efforts, but trust in the Lord who is near. We need not be anxious – He rules and is all-powerful and loving.
For reflection: What has particularly stood out for you in this prayer journey?

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.
