Saturday – A Prayer for Rest and Renewal

God of rest, thank you for this pause. Thank you for moments to breathe, to reflect, to simply be. I ask that today would be a gentle rhythm for my soul, a soft place where healing can begin and hope can grow. Restore what has been drained, refill what has been poured out. Let your presence refresh me like cool water on a tired heart. I lay down my striving and open myself to your quiet work in me. In this stillness, remind me who I am: your beloved, your cherished child. And let your peace wrap around me like a soft blanket.

Amen.
