This past weekend, I felt the Holy Spirit was telling me it is time to rest.
So that is just what I did.
To be honest, I do not have a job and I am done with school so it might seem weird as to why God would want me to rest. But God told me, my ways are not your ways, nor do I think like you. That being said, I just obeyed God. What’s wrong with having a little rest?
Well, I was so glad I took the day to rest and relax myself, not just for me but for God. It was so fulfilling and relaxing. I didn’t do any chores. I just did things that I liked to do on a break. This includes listening to music, reading the Bible, and walking.
These days of rest let me know how much God cares for us and our daily lives. He wants us to work to provide for ourselves but take time to rest off those days of hard work. God is just so amazing!
Genesis 2 shows the importance of why Sabbath was administrated by God and why He wanted us to rest on the seventh day. He wanted us to always make time to spend time with Him and not make our jobs an idol. Later on, God blessed that day of rest and sanctified it. This action from God made me realize that it is important to act upon more days of rest and bless those days, because you want to show your appreciation of your work but also how God blessed you with this day to rest. My goodness!
So I want all of you guys to say this prayer as you bless and sanctify your day of rest:
Lord, we come before you to give you all the glory as we bless this day of rest you have provided for us
Thank you for letting us know the importance of rest after days of hard work
Thank you for caring about us and our mental health and balancing work and our family
We are forever grateful of you and pray that you resting on the seventh day to show appreciation for all the work you have created here on Earch is put into our remembrance and we act upon it in our lives
Lord, let us bless those days of rest and sanctify it, in the name of Jesus
Lord, let us use the time to be closer with you, as well as our families you have blessed us with, in the name of Jesus
O Lord, how we pray it will all be very good, in the name of Jesus
Amen!
