Wednesday Morning Prayer
April 17, 2024

So then, a sabbath rest still remains for the people of God; for those who enter God’s rest also cease from their labors as God did from his. Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall through such disobedience as theirs.
Hebrews 4:9-11

Heavenly Father, as the new day dawns, we embrace the promise of Your rest, as declared in Hebrews 4:9-11. You invite us to enter into Your peace, a rest still waiting for the people of God. Help us, Lord, to strive to enter that rest, so that we may not fall by the same sort of disobedience exemplified in the past.

In this morning light, guide our hearts and minds to cease from our own works, as You did from Yours. Teach us to trust in Your perfect plan and timing, finding our solace and strength in You. As we face the challenges of this day, let us remember that Your grace is sufficient, Your power made perfect in our weakness.

May our actions reflect Your love and our words carry Your truth. In every moment, let us draw nearer to You, cultivating a spirit of humility, obedience, and reverence. For in finding rest in You, we find our true purpose and peace.

We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

As you embark on your day, facing both its challenges and blessings, may this prayer serve as spiritual nourishment and a source of peace for your heart.
