Spiritual Practice

Scripture: Read this verse slowly.

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

Matthew 11:28-30 MSG

What words or phrases stand out to you from this passage? Pray and ask God for help with finding real rest.

Respond: Write down a list of things that you consider restful. Make a plan to practice those things this week. Ask God to guide you along the way.
