Father God,
Thank you for the countless blessings you have given to us and for being Jehovah-Jireh, our Lord the provider. You continue to shower us with all that we need to live the lives you created us to live, and afford us with provision each day. Today, we find ourselves overwhelmed and hurried, rushing from here to there and everywhere with full schedules and the constant feeling of not having enough time. We are drained and have a sense of unrest both physically and mentally. We are weary and laden with burdens that seem too great for us to carry, and come to you and ask for help in giving us the rest and peace that only you can provide. Help us to see the importance of a Sabbath, finding and taking the time to rest from the drudgery of our day-to-day lives. Help us to take to heart the familiar words of Psalm 23 to heart and find our rest in you, our Good Shepherd, as you make us lie down in green pastures and restore our soul.
Thank you for being our hope, our strength, our salvation, and our place of comfort and rest. In your Holy name, Amen.
