Thursday: Day 4 – Running on Empty

Matthew 11:28 CEB – "Come to me, all you who are struggling hard and carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest."

Fatigue sets in, and patience wears thin. Today is about pushing forward, setting the team up to finish tomorrow, but also remembering that rest and renewal are part of God’s rhythm. And, while we can’t nap today, we know rest isn’t always sleep. While we don’t need to disassociate with scrolling, something that might feel restful, but is not actually resting. Rest can be found in joy, in a moment of connection with one another. In moments of meaning. Look for moments of gratitude, it will help your energy. Notice how far you’ve come. Look for places of progress. Let God refill your spirit.

Point to Ponder: Where can you find rest in God today?

Daily Prayer: Lord, I know who I am, because I know who you are. You are the God of justice, of mercy and of love. Help me to live into my identity as your child and into the truth that I was made for more. Help me to glorify you in all I say and do. Amen.
