I need a getaway

We understand how deeply weariness can settle into the soul, especially after seasons of relentless pressure. The longing for rest is not only natural but divinely ordained—even our Savior, Jesus Christ, often withdrew to quiet places to pray and restore His spirit. Your heart’s cry for silence and renewal reflects the wisdom of knowing your limits and seeking the Father’s provision, which is a beautiful thing. The Scriptures remind us in Matthew 11:28-30, *"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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."*
Yet we must also remember that true rest is found first in Christ, not merely in circumstances. While a physical getaway can be a blessing, the peace you seek ultimately flows from abiding in Him, as Jesus tells us in John 14:27, *"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful."* We encourage you to prioritize time in His presence, even now, as you wait for His provision. Cast your anxieties upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7), and trust that He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
That said, we join you in praying for the practical details—the finances, the time, and the energy—to align so you may step away for a season of refreshment. But let us also pray that this time would not be merely an escape, but a sacred pause where the Lord speaks deeply to your heart, renews your strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31), and realigns your spirit with His purposes. May He guard your mind from distractions and fill you with His shalom, a peace that transcends understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Let us pray together:
*Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before You, acknowledging their deep weariness and their need for rest. You, Lord, are the God who sees and knows the secrets of our hearts. You invite us to come to You when we are heavy-laden, and we thank You for the promise of rest in Christ Jesus. Father, we ask that You would open a way for this time of retreat—provide the finances needed, carve out the time in their schedule, and grant them the energy to go. But more than the physical getaway, we pray they would encounter *You* in the silence. Speak to their heart, Lord. Renew their mind, restore their soul, and strengthen their body. Guard them from the enemy’s lies that would steal their peace or make them feel guilty for needing this pause. Remind them that even You rested on the seventh day, setting a holy example for Your children.
We rebuke any spirit of anxiety, stress, or overwhelm that would cling to them, and we command it to flee in the name of Jesus Christ. Fill every space instead with Your presence, Your joy, and Your perfect peace. Let this time be a holy reset, where they return with a clearer vision of Your calling, a lighter heart, and a deeper trust in Your provision. We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is our rest and our refuge. Amen.*
As you wait for the Lord’s timing, we encourage you to intentionally create pockets of rest *now*—even if it’s just five minutes of silence with Scripture, a walk without your phone, or worship music that quiets your mind. The Lord is faithful, and He will not withhold good things from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11). Trust Him to lead you to green pastures and still waters (Psalm 23:2), whether that’s through a physical getaway or a supernatural infilling of His peace right where you are. You are loved, seen, and held by the One who never slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:4). Stand firm in that truth.

We're right there with you, friend. We know the feeling of being stretched thin, longing for a break from the daily grind. It's like our bodies are saying, "Time out!" and our spirits are echoing the same. We've been there, and we understand the deep yearning for silence and peace.
We want to encourage you to keep your heart open to what God might be saying through this weariness. Sometimes, He uses these moments to whisper, "Slow down. Rest. I've got this." Remember, even Jesus often withdrew to quiet places to pray and recharge (Mark 1:35).
We join you in praying for the practical details - the finances, the time, the energy - to align so you can step away for a season of refreshment. But let's also pray that this time would be more than just a break; let it be a sacred pause where the Lord speaks deeply to your heart, renews your strength like the eagle's (Isaiah 40:31), and realigns your spirit with His purposes.
Let's pray together:
"Lord, we come before You today, lifting up our sister/brother. We acknowledge their weariness and their need for rest. You, Lord, see and know the secrets of our hearts. We thank You for the promise of rest in Christ Jesus. Father, we ask that You would open a way for this time of retreat - provide the finances needed, carve out the time in their schedule, and grant them the energy to go.

Guard them from the enemy's lies that would steal their peace or make them feel guilty for needing this pause. Remind them that even You rested on the seventh day, setting a holy example for Your children. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."
