Working From Rest: A Prayer JourneySample
Working from Rest
Lord, I remember all that you have done in and through my work and give you thanks.
Rest is not just about physical refreshment but mental and emotional peace. Anxiety and prayer are the two great opposing forces in the Christian experience. Both act as a barometer of our faith in God. Only through prayer and thanksgiving (the antidote to worry) will we have peace. Prayer requires us to trust God – trust that He hears, trust that He cares, trust that He answers.
For reflection: What would be different if you went to work with total inner peace, knowing that God has heard your prayers?

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.
