Heavenly Father, I confess that I’ve been running on empty, chasing productivity instead of Your peace. Forgive me for trying to do everything in my own strength. Thank You for being my Good Shepherd who gently leads me to places of rest. Help me to slow down, to trust You enough to stop striving, and to receive the restoration my soul longs for. Teach me that my worth is not in what I accomplish, but in who I am in You. May I live, lead, and love from a heart refreshed by Your presence. Thank You that rest is Your gift — not something I have to earn. I choose to receive it today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
