Prayer for Restful Breaks and Rejuvenation

Season 1 | Episode 42

Last year I started having a word for the next year. For 2023, my word is rest. I've learned that sometimes God can't do what he wants to do in us because we are resting. God calls upon us to create, but we need to rest to have that space and ability to create. 

The new year is usually about new beginnings and I think in order for us to have that new beginning, in order for us to create what God wants us to create in 2023, in order for us to have that rejuvenation, we need to have rests. Rest may seem impractical with how busy we are, but we ask God to give us a season of self care and allow us to say yes to rest. We ask God that we might need people to come in and support us to give us the time for rest. There is no day that is promised to us and so I ask God to continue to remind us that every day that we have the opportunity to spend resting in His presence and is a blessing. 

You have to create balance in the storm. Balance isn’t about the storm calming down. Balance is about you figuring out how to have balance in the storm.
