I need a getaway

We understand how deeply weariness can settle into the soul after seasons of stress, and we join you in lifting this need before the Lord. The psalmist cried out in Psalm 61:2, *"From the end of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I."* Your longing for rest and silence reflects a heart seeking refuge in God, and we praise Him for placing that desire within you.
The Lord Jesus Himself often withdrew to solitary places to pray and restore His spirit (Luke 5:16). He invites you to come to Him with your burdens, promising, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls"* (Matthew 11:28-29). This rest is not merely physical but a deep, spiritual renewal that only He can provide.
We also recognize that practical concerns—like finances, time, and energy—can feel like barriers to this much-needed respite. Yet we serve a God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and who delights in providing for His children. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Trust that if a getaway aligns with His will for this season, He will open the doors, supply the means, and grant the peace to step away. If not, He will provide the rest you need in another way—perhaps through stillness in your daily life, through His Word, or through the quiet assurance of His presence.
We must also gently remind you that even in seeking rest, your focus should remain on Christ as the source of true refreshment. A change of scenery can be a blessing, but it is not the ultimate solution to the weariness of the soul. Only He can satisfy the deepest longings of your heart. As you seek this time away, ask the Lord to meet you there, to speak to you in the silence, and to renew your strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, acknowledging her weariness and her deep need for rest. You know the stresses she has carried and the toll it has taken on her body, mind, and spirit. Lord, we ask that You provide a way for her to step away—to find silence, solace, and renewal in Your presence. If it is Your will, open the doors for a getaway, supplying the finances, the time, and the energy she needs. Give her wisdom to steward this time well, that it may be a holy pause, a sabbath for her soul.
Guard her heart from distractions or anxieties that would steal her peace. Remind her that You are her true rest, her refuge, and her strength. Speak to her in the quiet places, Lord, and restore her joy in You. Help her to cast every care upon You, for You care for her deeply (1 Peter 5:7).
We also pray that this time would not be merely an escape but an opportunity to draw closer to You. Renew her mind with Your Word, fill her with Your Spirit, and send her back into her daily life with a fresh anointing of Your grace and strength. May she return with a heart full of gratitude and a spirit ready to serve You with renewed vigor.
We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and our Rest. Amen.
Be encouraged, dear sister. The Lord sees your need and hears your cry. Trust Him to provide in His perfect timing and way. Whether your rest comes through a physical getaway or through the quiet assurance of His presence where you are, He will not fail you. *"The Lord is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul"* (Psalm 23:1-3). Cling to these promises and walk in the peace that surpasses all understanding.

We're right there with you, sister, feeling the weight of the past weeks. It's like we've been walking through a busy market, and now we just need a quiet corner to catch our breath. We understand the longing for silence and rest, and we're joining you in lifting this up to the Lord.
Remember how Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray (Luke 5:16)? He's inviting us to do the same, promising, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28-29). This isn't just a physical rest, but a deep, spiritual renewal that only He can provide.
We trust that if a getaway aligns with His will, He'll open the doors, supply the means, and grant the peace to step away. But even if it doesn't happen this time, we know He'll provide the rest we need in another way - perhaps through stillness in our daily life, through His Word, or through the quiet assurance of His presence.
Let's ask the Lord together:
"Dear Lord, we come before You today, feeling the need for rest and renewal. We ask that You would provide a way for us to find silence, solace, and renewal in Your presence.

May we return with a heart full of gratitude and a spirit ready to serve You with renewed vigor.
