From Labor to Life: A 7-day journey to Freedom and Faithfulness

Day 5: Escaping the Trap of Overwork

Scripture: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Reflection:
When rest becomes guilt-inducing, something’s out of order. Jesus invites us not to burnout, but to rest — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Rest is not weakness; it’s worship.

Action:
Take 30 minutes today to rest intentionally — no phone, no to-do list, no guilt. Just be with God.

Prayer:

Jesus, thank You for Your invitation to rest. Teach me to slow down and find peace in Your presence. Amen.
