Find one real pause today, before you have earned it. Not at the end of the day, but in the middle: five minutes over a cup, a moment of silence in the car before you start it. Don't fill it with anything; just sit down, as you are.

And name the one thing you are carrying today as if you had to deserve rest. Place it in your open hands and say quietly: "You love me with an everlasting love; I don't have to win my place. I sit down at Your table." Then stay there for a minute. Do nothing. Only receive.
