Day 8 — Peace for the Weary Body
- Scripture: Matthew 11:28 – “Come to me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will give you rest.”
- Reflection: Peace honors the body as sacred. God’s rest is not earned—it’s offered. In what ways do you care for the totality of your being: mind, heart, soul and body? Each aspect of yourself is significant and requires time and care and rest. Even Godself chose to rest on the seventh day.
- Practice: Take a break — rest — for 10-15 minutes today without multitasking or guilt.
- Song: “Come Away With Me” by Norah Jones: https://youtu.be/lbjZPFBD6JU?si=dg5w8EIy43Ic05kg
- “Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.” — Etty Hillesum
