God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.
PHILIPPIANS 4:7 (MSG)
Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
There is a benefit to putting everything into God's hands and resting with him.
DAILY FODDER
What do you need to let go of and let God handle?
PRAYER
Lord, I confess that I like to be busy. Then I feel important, wanted, and needed. My credo is: If I don't do it, it won't get done! But you are the God of rest and renewal, my creator and redeemer. Grant me your peace. As your child of the sabbath, help me rest in your family of faithful workers. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
