Movement 3 of 12 · Days 61–91

Rest

Sabbath, limits and permission to be tired.

Tiredness is not a spiritual failure. Even so, a lot of us carry the sense that rest has to be earned, that limits mean weak faith, and that God is a little disappointed when we sleep in.

This movement is about Sabbath as a gift rather than a rule, about the God who rested and doesn't resent your need to, and about permission to stop before the list is done.

From the devotionals

When evening comes, the day is allowed to be over.

Day 89

There is room for you to rest before the list is done.

Day 65

The God who made your edges is gentle with them.

Day 67
