Necessary Rest

"Come to me, all you who are weary."

— Matthew 11:28

God of rest,

Rest is a necessity, not a luxury. My body, my mind, my soul need to regenerate regularly.

Thank You for moments of rest. For sleep that regenerates, for breaks that refresh, for moments when I can simply be.

May I respect my need for rest. May I not see it as a weakness but as a necessity. Rest is not wasted time; it is time invested in my well-being.

Amen.

Reflection

How is your rest? Do you give yourself enough time to regenerate?

For all those who are exhausted and need rest.
