Father, Your Word says rest is waiting for Your people. I get tired too. There is so much to do. So many people to please. So many feelings all at once. You promise real rest at the end. Until then, give me little pieces of that rest now. A quiet five minutes. A deep breath in the bathroom at school. A nap on a Saturday. You know I need them. Amen.
