The GT Weekend – Resting Week One

At Gracefully Truthful, weekends aren’t for “checking out”.
Use this time to invite the Almighty’s fullness into you life in a deeper way!
Saturdays and Sundays are a chance to reflect, rest, and re-center our lives onto Christ. Don’t miss the opportunity to connect with other women in prayer, rest your soul in reflective journaling, and spend time worshiping the Creator who longs for intimacy with each of us!

Journal Prompts

1) Take a look at your schedule. Where can you build rest into your routine? It takes an intentional choice to carve out space for rest. Take the challenge and make time for it today!

2) Often, it’s in a quiet moment that we hear a gentle whisper from the Holy Spirit. What have you experienced when you spend time with God in sweet rest with Him? What benefits have you noticed?

3) It’s easy to keep busy for a variety of reasons. It’s also much easier for us to stop after we’ve identified our excuse. What is yours? To make you look/feel important? To push away pain? To protect walls that were built long ago?

Music Video: City Harbor’s “I Will Rest”

Lord, this topic of rest makes me uncomfortable. I’m bad at rest. I feel the pressure to look productive and stay busy. I push my husband away when he asks to rest together. My children get pushed to the side so I can cross off one more thing from my to-do list. Worst of all, Lord, spending time with You gets neglected in the name of doing more ministry. Forgive me Father. Draw me deeper in with You. I long to hear the gentle whisper from You, Spirit. I want to know Your kind of love to better share it with others. To experience the fullness of You sounds amazing, I want more of that in my life Father, pour out on me so that I might focus on staying in close communion with You.

In everything, with praise and thanksgiving,
make your requests known to God!
