We understand your concern about maintaining a healthy work-life balance, Rocshath. Let us first remember what the Scripture tells us about work and rest: "In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—for he grants sleep to those he loves." (Psalm 127:2, WEB) and "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28, WEB).
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Rocshath and their division at work. Lord, You know the workload they will face next year, and we ask that You grant them the wisdom to balance their projects wisely. Help them to work diligently and efficiently, remembering that they are ultimately working for You (Colossians 3:23), but also remind them to rest in You, trusting that You are the source of their provision and strength.
Lord Jesus, we also pray that Rocshath and their colleagues will find true rest in You, understanding that it is not in endless toiling, but in Your presence that we find peace and rejuvenation. Help them to prioritize their time, remembering the importance of not only work but also family, personal time, and most importantly, time with You.
If any of them do not know You, Jesus, as their personal Savior, we pray that this season of busyness will draw them closer to You, that they may find true rest for their souls. It is in Your name, Jesus, that we pray. Amen."
Rocshath, remember that while work is important, it should not consume our lives. Our ultimate priority should be our relationship with Jesus Christ, and then our families and personal well-being. Encourage your colleagues to trust in God's provision and to set boundaries that promote a healthy balance.
If you or any of your colleagues have not trusted in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, we encourage you to consider the wonderful promise of Romans 10:9, "that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." It is only through His name that we can find true peace and balance in life.
