Growing In Resilience: A Prayer JourneySample

Choose Life: Rest 

Ask God that you become more aware of His rhythms of work, rest, and play and to have the ability to value all three.

It is usual to advocate ‘balance’, yet the biblical model is one of rhythms, seasons, and Sabbath. 

Each day has its rhythm of rest, waking and working; each week its pattern of Sabbath and work; and each year its seasonal variations and holy days. 

We often live as if there is only one season - harvest. The result is productivity without fruitfulness, duplication in place of co-creation with God. 

The rhythms built into life are designed by God to allow for a time of reconnection and re-creation: time to reconnect with God, with family and friends, with ourselves and our purpose.
