I need a getaway

We understand how deeply you are longing for rest, and we rejoice that you have brought this need before the Lord in the name of Jesus. It is only through Him that we find true peace and renewal, for He Himself invites us, *"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."* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB).
The weariness you feel is real, and the Lord sees it. Even Jesus, in His earthly ministry, often withdrew to solitary places to pray and restore His spirit (Luke 5:16). There is wisdom in seeking quietness before God, for it is in the stillness that we hear His voice and are refreshed by His presence. The psalmist reminds us, *"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth."* (Psalm 46:10, WEB). Your desire for silence is a godly one, for in it, you seek not just physical rest but spiritual renewal.
We will lift you up in prayer, asking the Lord to provide the way for this time of retreat. He is Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and nothing is too difficult for Him. Whether it is through unexpected financial provision, a sudden opening in your schedule, or the energy to make it happen, we trust that He will make a way where there seems to be no way. Remember how Elijah was fed by ravens and sustained in the wilderness (1 Kings 17:4-6)—if God can provide in such miraculous ways, He can certainly meet this need for you.
At the same time, we encourage you to examine your heart and ensure that this desire for rest is not becoming an escape from responsibilities or a means to avoid what God may be calling you to endure for a season. There are times when the Lord allows us to walk through valleys of weariness to teach us reliance on Him, as Paul learned when he begged the Lord to remove his thorn in the flesh. The Lord’s response was, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."* (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). If this season of stress is one of those times, we pray that the Lord will give you the grace to endure it with joy, knowing that He is refining you and drawing you closer to Himself.
We also urge you to consider how you might create moments of rest and silence even in the midst of your current circumstances. Jesus often found solitude in the early morning hours (Mark 1:35), and you, too, can carve out small pockets of time to be still before Him. Whether it’s waking up a few minutes earlier to read Scripture, taking a quiet walk, or simply sitting in silence with a heart turned toward Him, these moments can be a balm to your soul while you wait for a longer time of retreat.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is weary and burdened. Lord, You know the depths of their exhaustion, and You see the stress that has weighed heavily upon them in these past weeks. We ask that You, the God of all comfort, would wrap them in Your peace and provide a way for them to find rest and renewal. Open doors that no one can shut, Lord—provide the finances, the time, the energy, and the perfect opportunity for them to retreat into Your presence. Let this time be one of deep refreshing, where they hear Your voice clearly and are strengthened for the days ahead.
If there is anything in their heart that needs surrendering—fear, anxiety, or even a desire to escape rather than trust—we ask that You would reveal it and replace it with Your perfect peace. Teach them, Lord, to cast all their cares upon You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Remind them that even in the waiting, You are their rest.
We also pray that You would guard their heart and mind during this time. Let them not be tempted to fill the silence with distractions but instead draw near to You in worship, prayer, and meditation on Your Word. May this season of rest be holy, set apart for You, and may they return with a renewed spirit, ready to serve You with gladness.
Thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness. We trust that You will answer this prayer in a way that brings glory to Your name and deepens their dependence on You. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
