Working From Rest: A Prayer Journey

DAY 5 OF 40

Restlessness

Lord, please help me notice when I have become conformed to the values of the society in which I live.

The Egypt of Exodus 5 gives us a picture of restlessness – a society based on ever-increasing production schedules, endless consumption (the slaves were building storage capacity), and cheap labour.

‘Once the climbing “market mind” overtakes the soul, it pretty well destroys any possibility of understanding grace, transformation, and the active power of God.’ Richard Rohr

For reflection: In what ways do continual production and consumption cause you to be restless?

About this Plan

Working From Rest: A Prayer Journey

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.
