Rest Day
Each Sunday is a Rest Day. There is no new Bible reading to do. Today, the goal is simple: rest in the presence of God. Maybe you need to use today to get caught up on the reading plan if you’re behind, maybe you want to journal what you’re learning so you don’t forget what God is teaching you, or maybe you want to spend time in concentrated prayer–do that. Above all, just spend time in God’s presence.
Each Rest Day, we will have an additional element to help you dig deeper. Sometimes it will be extra resources to further your study, a video to watch, or a podcast to listen to. Sometimes we’ll have a verse to commit to memorize to help you hide God’s Word in your heart.
If you have kids, our Family Guide will help you discuss what you’re reading and learning with them! It’s a great opportunity for your family to read God’s Word together and review what we read the previous week!

Refelction Guide
As you reflect on Psalms 39-44 this week, ask yourself the following questions:
- Which psalm resonated with you most this week? Why?
- What did this week’s readings teach you about God?
- What did this week’s reading teach you about humanity (and yourself)?
One response to “Rest Day + Reflection Guide (Psalm 39-Psalm 44)”
Reading Psalms 39 – 44 this past week, I was taken by the idea that I can be fully transparent with God. It is not being rude or disrespectful, it is being real and vulnerable.
God, why are you waiting? God, wake up! God, do you see what’s happening here? God, why are you allowing this? God, I don’t understand, but I love you. You are my Lord!
