10 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING

Day6 : REST FOR THE SOUL

BIBLE

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in  returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it. Isaiah 30:15

REFLECT

This verse carries a profound warning: do not miss out on the most essential ingredient for your life’s journey. God was calling His people back to the basics: salvation and strength found only in relationship and worship, and resting in His goodness. In a competitive world defined by noise, hustle, and the pressure to outdo others, God offers a transformative alternative. He provides a quietness that comes directly from being in His presence—a quietness that organically matures into confidence in God. The Father’s concern was that His people would refuse this simple gift and, consequently, miss out on true blessedness and rest.

PRAYER FOCUS

We desire to be a community rooted in rest, enabling us to be genuine agents of rest for others.

Praying for Community Restoration

  • Marriage and Family: Pray for divine rest and unity to guard marriages and bring peace to families, protecting them from the draining pressures of performance.
  • Men and Women: Pray for both genders within the church and wider community to reject the idol of perpetual busyness and embrace the value of stillness before God.
  • Young People: Pray that the next generation will discover confidence in quietness, learning to hear God’s voice over the demands of social noise and pressure.

 

Praying for Sabbath Rediscovery

    • Personal Practice: Pray for the grace and discipline to rediscover and prioritize Sabbath rest, a deliberate cessation from work and a conscious focus on worship and delighting in God.
  • Community Example: Pray that our church community will model a restful life, becoming a practical example to our town of the strength found in quietness and dependence on God.
