Reflection

“At this I awoke and opened my eyes; my sleep was satisfying.” –Jeremiah 31:26

Prayer

Friend of the weak,

We who are weary and heavy-laden come to you, just as your son Jesus told us to. In humble faith we ask you to make good on your promise to give us rest. Let our bodies be filled with your spirit of life. As we serve you today by serving your people, may our footsteps be light as we pursue the work set before us. For those alongside us who are especially weary, exhausted and sore, hungry for sleep and anxious for rest, refreshment, and a sign of life’s joy… We pray for them, today, and ask you to give them satisfying sleep. For good sleep we pray, Amen.

Call to Action

Rest my weary head today and do nothing for a few minutes. Trust the advice from LifeMatters: it’s okay to be bored on purpose sometimes.
