Psalms 62:6
Only
in God be at rest, my soul, for from him comes my hope.
We all need rest. As we work 5 or 6 days a week, we always look
forward to Sunday (or for some, their day-off) in order to give ourselves some
pampering (watch a movie, go to the mall, spa, sleep all day) or engage in
soul-enriching activities (going to mass/Sunday services, retreat). This would ensure a renewed energy when we go
back to work the following day.
Only Him can give us total rest from all
the troubles and problems of this world.
And as we let Him come into our hearts in prayer, that same state of
rest will change us, yearning for His care and mercy all the more, for His
Spirit is within us - “Your interests are not in the unspiritual, but in the
spiritual, since the Spirit of God has made his home in you”.
Are you tired from work or are you burdened
with unnecessary things?
Jesus said, “come to Me”. We don’t have to grunt and strain on our
own. We will have help. As we take Christ’s yoke upon us, we will
learn from the one who knows how to handle suffering and trials.
Christ has chosen to give us a distinctive
day of rest. He has chosen to give us a
special rest. But we have to come to
Him. And feel the serenity, the peace,
the quietness of it all.
Feel his gentleness as He carry you in His
arms and let you feel the warmth of His embrace. We will gain a peace in our souls as we see
the burden lifted and the work made easy.
Let Him free you, cleanse you and enable
you to serve God. It is pure joy and
delight to live with Him and serve Him.
Almighty Father, You are peace and
quietness for my soul. Let Your Spirit come
upon me as he whispers to me of gentleness.
Restore my soul, made weary and tired.
Refresh my spirit with the kindness of your Word and help me to be a
refuge for others from their struggles.
Amen +
Our help is in the name of the Lord.
