Reflection

“Exhaustion is not a status symbol.” –Brené Brown

Prayer

God of peace,

We are not designed to work as machines, endlessly spinning the gears. We must rest. For those who struggle to hear you calling them to rest from their labor, remind them that taking time for relax and recuperate is part of our following you. Your mission includes the calling for us to step away for a while and restore our spirits. When we see colleagues today, struggling to step back and breathe, inspire us to bring good help to them by insisting they take a much-needed break. Amen.

Call to Action

Be on the lookout today for those who need rest. Find a way to help them step back and revive
their strength.
