Rest is part of healing. Let Him calm your soul today. God not only calls you to freedom—He invites you to rest in His peace.
Our Father (The Lord’s Prayer)
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
A Psalm of Praise and Thanks
Psalm 23
He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and loving devotion will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
A Psalm for Mercy and Help
Psalm 143
Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before You. For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those dead for ages.
Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart is appalled deep inside. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails.
Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit. Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You.
Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul. Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.
Brief Prayer
Lord, thank You for being my Shepherd who restores my soul.
When chaos surrounds me, lead me to the stillness of Your peace.
Teach me to rest in Your presence without fear.
Calm the storm inside my heart and give me Your quiet strength.
Help me to hear Your voice in the gentle places of life.
Renew my spirit by the waters of Your Word.
May I walk each day refreshed by Your grace.
Amen.
