I need rest

[joshrp]

Hi,

I need rest. I am always busy, searching for something to do, and I have never sought to rest. I avoid anything resembling rest. Even God rested from His work, and I can’t even say that I have ever had a moment where I ever wanted to rest. I never think that I’ve made it where I need to be, so I fear resting, for fright that I will never get there.

Please pray that God teaches me what good rest is, and how to rest, and gives me rest.

Joshua

Rest in Him Josh, rest in Him.
You are in my prayers

You need to stay off the computer for a while!

Go for a run or a long walk! Clean up the yard. Do some chores. Volunteer.

Stop thinking so much!

Again, you need to stop offering advice on this prayer intention forum, and reserve it for prayers. And I am out and about doing chores and errands for fellow parishioners, and others all day long. In the future do not offer advice on my prayer intention threads because you do not know me one bit. You have advice to offer, you can tell it to God or send me a PM. If I wanted advice from someone on this forum, I would post in some other subject thread like Spirituality or whatnot. I have enough people in my parish and elsewhere to ask for advice from. When I post on this section it is for prayers only. And that is the specific policy of this Prayer intention section.

Hail Mary…

Amen.

Mother Mary, I recommend Joshua to you. Please help him to take breaks for rest. Amen.

Lord God, please grant Joshua rest… Take away any anger, discontent, and anxiety… AMEN.

Last night at the Divine Mercy service the Deacon’s reflection was specifically on weariness and rest. Thanks for your prayers.
