Working From Rest: A Prayer Journey

DAY 14 OF 40

Sabbath Renewal

Lord, please teach me to order my life around the rhythms you established at creation.

‘Sabbath-keeping is more than just taking a day of rest; it is a way of ordering one’s life around a pattern of working six days and then resting on the seventh. It is a way of arranging our life to honour the rhythm of things – work and rest, fruitfulness and dormancy, giving and receiving, being and doing, activism and surrender.’  Ruth Haley Barton 

For reflection: How can I arrange my week in such a way as to make Sabbath possible?

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.
