Today I offer a prayer for rest and restoration of the soul.
Father God, our One True God, great and mighty is Your name. Father we are weary, and heavy-laden, so we come to You seeking rest. Please share Your light burden with us, and teach us, for You are gentle and humble, and in You we can find rest for our souls. Wherever we go Father, may Your presence go with us and give us rest. Please remind us that it’s healthy to find a quiet place to rest for a while when the busyness of life seems overwhelming. When we rest and sleep we can do so in peace Father, knowing that You help us dwell in safety. Father we need not be anxious about anything, since we can humbly bring all things to You in prayer with thanksgiving. When we spend time with You, Your peace with surpasses all understanding and will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Lord You have blessed us with peace, and many other blessings far great than anything this world offers. Our hearts need not be troubled, nor afraid, for we may rest our souls in You and Your abundant grace. Father, may we learn to be still and exalt You among the nations, and across the whole earth, forever and ever, amen.
