Rest was always a part of God’s plan for us. When God rested on the 7th day, everything was still good and perfect in the world. He didn’t rest because he was tired, or because he needed a break (he’s God, after all). He rested so he could have the opportunity to enjoy his creation. And, this is the enjoyment he meant for us as well.
Rest looks a bit different now post-fall, but it’s not any less important. If anything, recognizing the limitations that God has given us can be a gift. We have the opportunity to stop our work and trust that God will continue to sustain us.
We need rest. If you’re having trouble finding it, take a minute to slow down and try this breath prayer with us.
“For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath” (Matthew 12:8).
Breath Prayer is a way of aligning your breathing with a short prayer or psalm, in order to slow you down and draw you closer to God. You only need a line or two of scripture to help ground and comfort you in the truths of his nearness and his love.

💧Feel like you could use a refreshing, creative way to meet God?
Good news! The Bible is packed with beautiful images, metaphors, and awe-inspiring visions. Today, we’re gonna dive into them, and trust God will meet us as we do.👇🏽
𝟭. 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗮𝗴𝗹𝗲 (𝗗𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝟯𝟮:𝟭𝟭-𝟭𝟮)
🙏🏽God, when I think of an Eagle, I think of its strong power and majestic presence. I think about this powerful creature taking on the role of nurturing its young. Thank you for being the God who carries us, who leads us, and cares for us.
𝟮. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗪𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 (𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗮𝗵 𝟯𝟯:𝟮𝟭)
🙏🏽You, O God, are the broad river that protected your city, Jerusalem from attacks. Just as you protected your people then, I know you are still a God who defends and protects your people today. Praise your name!
𝟯. 𝗛𝗲’𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗮 “𝗦𝘂𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱” (𝗣𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝟴𝟰:𝟭𝟭-𝟭𝟮)
🙏🏽Giver of life, thank you for being the source of light and all things good. Just as the psalmist has concluded, so do I: it’s really good to be with you. You give good things, the best of which is your very presence. Thank you for not withholding good, but pouring it out generously.
𝟰. 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗜𝘀 𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗴𝗲 (𝗣𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝟭𝟴:𝟮)
🙏🏽God, you are firm. You are stable, and trustworthy. As our foundation, anything else would falter. But you are a safe place for us to seek refuge—to hide, to recover, to heal. Thank you, Lord, for being so strong and for inviting us to take shelter in your strength.
𝟱. 𝗛𝗲’𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 (𝗣𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝟭𝟬𝟰:𝟮-𝟯)
🙏🏽God, you are beautiful, glorious, and radiant. You’re wrapped in light. Your Son Jesus is the light of the world. I know that I am made to live with you in the light. When darkness threatens to take over, I will take heart knowing that you made this world, you continue to rule it, and in the end, light wins!
How has God shown up in your own life recently? Can you come up with a metaphor of your own that would help describe what it felt like for him to show up?

Sit back… clear your head… breathe…. and do nothing. In today’s age that’s an impossible task. The stress of yesterday and today overflows into the future. Accomplishing tasks gives us time to accomplish more tasks!
The unfortunate truth is that it’s hard to do nothing. As in shutting off your brain, not worrying about anything, or being concerned with any sort of productivity. Laying on the couch, staring off into la la land, or sitting on the porch— this is all part of the sweet science of doing nothing!
Would you depict Christ as a driven go-getter and task-minded zealot? Or a simple, loving, nap-taking Rabbi who would wake early mornings to hike in the mountains, or go on a stroll through a farm on a Sunday.
If Christ knew to rest and reflect, then he knew to do nothing. No agenda, no concern, no time limit— absolutely nothing.
The present and future will forever be filled with tasks and worries, but in heaven, there’s nothing to get done. It was and it remains finished on the cross. Nothing to worry about, nothing to accomplish… Do nothing.
If slowing down and taking time to relax is something you struggle with as much as we do, here’s a Scripture and prayer to encourage you to do nothing.
𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34).
𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠
Lord of rest, you made the universe in a week and on the 7th day, you did nothing. Teach me to do nothing as well... Amen.
Life is flying by.
You’re so busy.
But this morning, after rushing the kids out the door, making school drop off, then running across town to your much overdue dentist appointment, you find yourself with a few minutes of sitting still, waiting.
You could check your work email from your phone. You glance across the room and see another woman doing what looks like just that. But on the chair next to her, stands her toddler, stretching to his tippy toes to look at the fish tank behind her. And he’s engrossed. Watching with such interest, he excitedly exclaims “Bubbles!” when he spots them rising to the surface of the tank.
And this—this scene is what stops you in your tracks. It’s what inspires you to take a long breath, drop your phone back into your coat pocket, and sit in the moment you’re in.
Kids have a way of doing that—of showing us what slowing down and being present looks like. And how a slower speed so often leads to noticing more of what we have to be glad about.
Today, we’re celebrating the lessons kids teach us without trying. Here’s our prayer for witnessing a child’s delight:
𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).
𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝’𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭
You, Source of Joy, have instilled in this little one an innocent curiosity about the world around them. Praise your name! It amazes me how curiosity and attention give way to a pure, simple delight. God, help me learn from this child. Make space in my mind to regard the very works of your hand, and then to slowly turn them over until my thoughts too, give way to delight. Help me to see, consider, and rejoice each day, and celebrate the same in this child. Amen!

Put your hope in Jesus… He is FAITHFUL!
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful | Hebrews 10:23
If you know Jesus and what He has done, you can place your hope on solid ground.
Jesus is faithful, and His promises will be fulfilled.
We get so easily distracted by politics, relationships, finances, anything… and understandably so. How can we not, when those things are constantly pushed in our faces to take up our time, energy, and attention.
But we have a choice to make… become consumed by it, OR place our trust, our faith, our HOPE in Jesus because we know He has already overcome the world.
We can stress and worry, but that should not last for long because we have Jesus, and He strengthens us and comforts us. He is the light at the end of the tunnel!
Keep your eyes on Jesus today!!! Amen!

I will bless the Lord at all times — His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Have you thought about how rich you are lately? Ha, probably not. Bills are due, groceries need to be bought, and if you could just pay off ______, you might have money for ______ 😫.
Yet, we don’t measure wealth the same way as the world (though physically, we often do overlook the blessings we have compared to others).
But spiritually? Well, those are the riches that we really depend on, and with Jesus, our cups run over— even without what the world might consider “real” wealth. He has given us his grace and his Spirit. Through these things, we also can have the kind of “simple” abundance we see modeled in his life. One where we become rich in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Try this breath prayer with us.
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9).
Breath Prayer is a way of aligning your breathing with a short prayer or psalm, in order to slow you down and draw you closer to God. You only need a line or two of scripture to help ground and comfort you in the truths of his nearness and his love.
If you’re a procrastinator, you’re not alone. Most of the time, procrastinating is harmless. We avoid homework, work assignments, laundry, or making that phone call…but eventually, we manage to get it done.
Yet some tasks shouldn’t wait.
Conversations about God can be super awkward and scary, making them easy to put off. But the Gospel is called Good News for a reason. If you’ve experienced the power of Jesus’ sacrifice for us, then you know why. Life is hard, but living for Jesus unlocks new love, purpose, and joy in life—even during difficult times.
Awkward conversations don’t always get less so, but what’s a minute of awkwardness if it means another person experiences God’s love?
It can be intimidating to know how to share Jesus with others, especially if you’re worried about seeming pushy or saying the wrong thing. But, if it’s God`s timing, the Holy Spirit will give you the right words and the right circumstances—you don’t have to force anything on your own.
So many people are ready to hear the Gospel, and God’s tasked us with sharing his love. Yes, it’s scary, but we have a Counselor to lean on, helping us not waste a second.

Passionate God, break my heart for those who don’t know you. Give me an urgency to share the Good News with everyone.
God of Good News, open my eyes to those who are ready. Prepare me to tell others about you lovingly.

The ordinariness of today contains God’s invitation to find meaning in the everyday stuff of life.
While the specific tasks and “to do’’s from today might not feel significant, those ordinary moments are what make up the majority of our lives. Join us in this prayer for today as we reclaim meaning in the small moments, the big ones, and everything between!
𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).
𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲
Creator God, who took what was formless and void and gave it shape and meaning, reclaim today and these small seemingly insignificant moments. One who filled emptiness with beauty and gave all creatures their purpose, help me discover meaning in the mundane. Ordain the very ordinariness of these tasks, or my current lack of them, for your glory, the good of the world, and my good. Amen.
