Passage

Mark 6:31

ESV (English Standard Version)

And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.

NLT (New Living Translation)

Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat.

NIV (New International Version)

Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

Ask Yourself

"How can I prioritize intentional breaks in my daily routine to avoid fatigue and burnout this week?"

Walk it Out

Reflect

• Meditate on Mark 6:31 and consider how you can make space for rest and quiet in your busy life.

Engage

• Schedule at least one intentional break this week to rest and recharge. Use this time to do something that brings you peace and restores your energy.

Pray

• Pray for wisdom to recognize the signs of fatigue and the courage to take necessary breaks.
• Pray for caregivers, that they find rest and renewal in their demanding roles so that they may love and care for others more effectively.
• Pray for a deeper understanding of God's desire for us to rest in his presence, allowing his truth to wash over us and transform our approach to self-care.
