The prayer

Written prayer

Heavenly Father, We give You thanks for the gift of rest. You invite us to come to You and find solace from our burdens, that we may exchange them for Your peace. You have an understanding heart that listens to our heavy sighs. You lighten our load - allowing us to lay down the worry and toil of this world. Lift up our heads and give us clarity of mind, so that we can live in a state of rest; knowing that You are in control no matter the storms that come our way.

In Jesus Name, Amen.
