“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
Lord, tomorrow I go back to work and I feel uneasy. I have been away for a while and I worry about what has changed, what I have forgotten, and what people will think.
Give me a calm mind tonight and a clear head in the morning. Help me ease back in without trying to catch up on everything in one day. Give me kind coworkers and a patient boss.
If I am leaving a baby or a sick loved one at home, comfort my heart and protect them while I am gone.
You said, come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. I am heavy laden, Lord. Give me rest in the middle of the work, not only after it.
Help me do good work, be honest about what I need, and come home with peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Short prayer to remember
Lord, I come to You heavy. Give me rest as I go back to work. Amen.
