Letter 4400
The tasks of this day are not especially taxing. Cleaning, arranging, light repairs. Yet before this easy day I shy.
Now is when I pull inward and rest, even as my energy flows like sap. The light worry is enough to make me sit.
❖
Lord, enter my heart and rebestir me. Let this rest renew my courage to walk and act.
Consider:
Can I seek and accept rest?

❖ “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
