Exode 20:8

“Our hearts are restless till they find their rest in Thee.” Never before have so many of us felt the restlessness Augustine described with this famous sentence. But what is the solution to our lack of true rest? As this three day plan will show, the solution partially lies in viewing the ancient practice of Sabbath through a different lens—through the lens of “Thee”—Jesus—our ultimate source of peace.

Do you ever feel like you don’t enjoy anything because you’re trying to do everything? Multitasking your way through life with your loved ones. . .You’re efficient. But you’re exhausted. You just need a little bit of breathing room. With one surprisingly simple invitation, God offers a way to trade your overwhelming pace for one that will finally bring you peace. This plan will show you how.

In this five-day plan, be encouraged with stories of overcoming, finding humility, and running the race of life. Created especially for an active lifestyle, this short devotional urges you to reflect on the race you're running and begin to see things from a new perspective.

The Evangelical Alliance Week of Prayer (WOP) is a worldwide but mostly Europe-wide observed initiative with material provided by the European Evangelical Alliance. WOP 2022 takes place under the theme "Sabbath." Throughout eight days readers are invited to focus on one aspect of the Sabbath: identity, provision, rest, compassion, remembrance, joy, generosity, and hope. We pray that this material will help you to (re)discover a life according to God's rhythm!
