A Prayer for Soul Rest
May your soul find rest in God’s presence,
May you lay down your burden and pick up his yoke,
May you learn from him and find peace,
and may He lead you like a tender Shepherd.
May your soul find rest in God’s presence,

May you learn from him and find peace,
and may He lead you like a tender Shepherd.
May you receive God’s love poured into your heart;
May He strengthen you with all perseverance;
May your confidence grow in the person of Jesus Christ;
and may hope fill you and never put you to shame.
May your joy come from relying on God’s strength,
May you walk with courage into your messy middle,

and may your heart determine to wait for the miracle in the middle.
May you rest secure in God’s approval of you,
May your heart find it’s acceptance in God’s steadfast love for you,
May you bring your hurts to Him who understands and sympathizes,
and may you return to living with arms wide open in honor of Jesus’ wide open arms for you.
May you reach for the logic of a faith that knows God is your refuge,
May the melody of your life song ring pure and true because you have made God your strength,
May you honor God by refusing to give into fear by remembering God is greater than your biggest mountain,
and may your confidence soar because of your heightened awareness of God’s presence near you.
