rest in my love

Opening Prayer: Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.  He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.  My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.  Trust in him at all times, O people, for God is our refuge. (Psalm 62:5-8)

Scripture: Psalm 62:1-2

Journal: Where and how do you try to find rest in your life?  How well is that working for you?  What would it mean to rest in God’s unfailing love?

Reflection: My soul finds rest in God alone, my salvation comes from him.  He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.  (Psalm 62:1-2)  The only place your soul will truly find rest is in my unfailing love.  You will not find it in circumstances.  You will not find it in your own efforts.  You will not find it in the praise and admiration of others.  You will not find it in achievements and success.  You will not find it in what others think or say about you.  You will only find it in me…alone.  And only when your soul finds rest in my unfailing love alone, will you be able to love others the way I love you.  So find your rest in me and then pass it along to others.  That’s how ministry is supposed to work.

Prayer

Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, only in your love can our souls truly find rest.  Help us to find our rest in you this day.  Amen.
