THE SABBATH REST

THE SABBATH REST

Hebrews 3:7-4:11

Dear Father,

I long to enter into your rest - into creative work that is
effortless, into joyous activity in which there is no fatigue, into
glorious praise of which I will not tire! Thank you for the Good
News that there remains a Sabbath Rest for the people of God.

Keep me from being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. May I not
focus on the glittering things of this world and lose sight of the
glorious eternity that awaits me.

Let me not fall away from you through faithlessness and
disobedience as did your ancient people in the wilderness
wanderings. Let no rebellion sprout in my heart against you. May I
walk steadfastly and patiently in your paths.

May I learn that to enter your rest I must surrender my will.

In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.
