Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10.

Pause, reflect, and renew - this is not a full-day commitment, but a few intentional hours to begin practicing Sabbath rest in everyday life.

Choose a time block that works for you—morning, afternoon, or evening—and try one or more of the following:

👤 If You Live Alone:

• Light a candle and read a Psalm slowly.

• Take a walk or sit quietly with a cup of tea.

• Journal what you are grateful for this month.

• Listen to worship music or a reflective podcast.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 If You are a Family with Children:

• Begin with a short devotion or story from the Bible.

• Do a creative activity together—drawing, baking, or building.

• Share a meal with no screens and lots of laughter.

• End with a simple prayer or blessing for each child.

🧓 If You’re a Caregiver:

• Find small pockets of time—10–30 minutes—to pause.

• Sit in silence, breathe deeply, and invite God’s peace.

• Reflect on how God is present in your caregiving.

• Ask someone to help for a short time so you can rest.

🏠 If You Cannot Leave Your Home:

• Open a window or sit near natural light.

• Listen to calming music or scripture audio.

• Call a friend or family member for a short, uplifting chat.

• Pray slowly through the Lord’s Prayer or Psalm 23.
