Restlessness
Holy Spirit, help me to notice where I have aligned myself with a blame culture – at work, or in conversation with friends and family – and repent.
The restlessness and anxiety of a production/consumption-driven society lead to a blame culture. The Israelite foremen blame Pharaoh and then Moses. Moses blames God. Blame is a signal that relationships are fragmenting, and trust is broken. To ensure we cannot be blamed we check and double check our words and actions. This leaves little room for rest.
For reflection: Who are you tempted to blame when things go wrong?

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.
