Day 16

Open your mind and heart to God’s presence and guidance.

Scripture:
Hebrews 4:1-11

Focus Verse:
“So then, a Sabbath rest still remains for the people of God; for those who enter God’s rest also cease from their labors as God did from his” (vv. 9, 10).

Listening to God:
”You were created to need down time. Sabbath is my gift to you. Here’s a thought: give yourself one day a week when you do only things that feed you and give you joy, and do them with an awareness of my presence. Think it can’t be done? Think you are too busy and important to rest? Just give it a try. Taking a Sabbath day every week will fill you with new energy so that the other six days are more productive and joyful.”

Listen in silence. Quiet your mind by letting go of sounds and thoughts as they occur, seeking a silent space for God’s word to you.

Write or say your own prayer.
