Day Five
Rest for Your Body
Proverbs 3:24b When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
How can one wake and feel as if the night vanished without the benefit of sleep? You’re living on afternoon coffee, power naps and vitamins. A cold threatens. Your stomach feels unsettled. Your joints and your brain ache. Exhausted one, come find rest for your body.
Today I Pray for You:
· To have deep, uninterrupted sleep–sweet, reenergizing, restoring sleep
· That God would guard your body and keep it running strong
Today You Pray:
Creator of my being, flow into every space. I breathe you in like a breath of heaven itself. You are my energy. You are my rest.
I come to Your shelter, rest my head on Your lap and trust You to shield my body. I seek You with a longing heart. You know best how to care for me. Help me make wise choices in food, activity and sleep. Rest my body as I rest in You.
