Sisterfriend, let’s agree with God.

With the Scriptures shared and devotion on your heart, take a moment to sit with your Shepherd. Journal your thoughts about what your Great Shepherd is saying about you “resting”.

Why is it so difficult for you to rest?

What fruit has worry and control produced in your life?

What area of your life is God wanting in exchange for his rest?

Prayer:

Lord, Thank you for being my Shepherd! Thank you for knowing what’s best for me. I am grateful that you want me to be at rest. Today, I choose to take you up on your offer of rest.  I give you my burdens and those things that make me weary.  Today I willingly make the exchange.   I love you.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

Today, I choose to do just that. I give you _(speak your cares, anxieties and fears here)_.  Bring me to that blessed place where I can declare, “The Lord is my shepherd I shall not be in want.” In Jesus Name.
