Working from Rest: Elijah
Lord, thank you that you don’t leave us despairing under a broom tree. Give me eyes to see your angels, in whatever guise, and ears to hear your word.
After his journey to Mount Horeb, Elijah meets with God. And God sends him back to work! A 40-day day trek across a desert to sleep in a cave may not be your idea of rest, yet notice what has happened in this time. He has been physically refreshed through sleep, food, and presumably exercise. He has been emotionally restory-ed – God has given him a new narrative of hope and companionship. He has been spiritually equipped through God’s word and clear direction. He is now re-energised for the work God has called him to.
For reflection: What might God be able to do in your body, mind, heart, and spirit in the next 40 days?

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.
