Almighty Father,
Busyness… it has become an addiction for some of us. Lord, our busyness is wearing us out, bodily, soulfully, and spiritually. When we are so focused on our to do lists and calendars, we negate thinking and being with you in a way that will truly fill us and strengthen us! Please help us to intentionally reclaim our time, intentions, and purpose to grow closer to you and be in your Word are prioritized. This looks different for each of us based upon how you created us. You have told us through the prophet Isaiah,
“Do you not know? Have yo not heard? The Lord is an eternal God, the Creator of the whole earth. He does not get tired or weary; there is no limit to his wisdo. He gives strength to those who are tired; to the ones who lack power, he gives renewed energyEven youths get tired and weary; even strong young men clumsily stumble. But those who wait for the Lord’s help find renewed strength; they rise up as if they had eagles’ wings, they run without growing weary, they walk without getting tired.” (Isaiah 40:28-31)
May we rest each day with you and your word so that you may minister to us in the ways in which only you know we need. And, as you minister to us – we will be strengtened and renewed – we will not grow weary and will walk without wearing ourselves out! Please protect our bodies, souls, and spirits from burnout and help us to obey your instruction to remember the sabbath, to keep it holy. In Jesus’ name through power of Holy Spirit we pray. Amen.
