Go Beyond At Home
28-Week Prayer Guide
Sabbath and Solitude
Hey friends, I am so grateful to be able to share this week’s prayer guide with you. What a gift it is to pray for our own hearts and intercede for our Church and one another! This week, we continue to focus on spiritual disciplines, and specifically, the practice of sabbath and solitude. As we enter this week, I encourage you to prayerfully consider what it could look like for you or your family to personally practice sabbath or solitude in your own home. Maybe you take a full day to unplug from screens and media and have an intentional meal as a family or with friends. Maybe you celebrate what God has been doing in your life and others by taking time to share out loud. Maybe you take a morning without distraction and devote it to prayer and listening. What might God do if we position our hearts and minds to rest, delight, and hear from our Father? As Romans 15:13 says, “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Week 24
Day 4
August 14
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.“
— Matthew 11:28-30
REMINDER: Jesus offers us the beautiful gift of giving our whole hearts to Him. When we feel out of control, busy, tired, burdened, or burned out, His promise to us is that we can give it all to Him and find true rest for our souls.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– Picture yourself coming to the Lord with all you are carrying. Place your burdens, heaviness, fears, stress, or whatever comes to mind at His feet. Picture yourself taking His yoke and receive the promises in Scripture for you. Pray over this picture and all that you are placing at His feet.
– Ask God to help you come to Him, learn from Him, and find rest for your soul.
– Intercede on behalf of others that they would do the same. Pray that Kingsland would be a Church that rests in Jesus.
