Everyone Left at 4:30 and I Was Still There - Prayer Before Work

By 4:30, half the team has cleared out. Coats on, laptops closed, gone. And there's still one person left, not because the boss is watching, but because they can't seem to make themselves leave. There's always one more thing.And even after finally going home, the brain doesn't. Replaying the meeting. Rehearsing tomorrow. Tweaking a sentence in an email that already got sent.Psalm 127:2 is surprisingly direct about this: in vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat, for he grants sleep to those he loves. Not a knock on hard work, but a warning that work built on constant striving produces less than it feels like.Rest isn't something earned after proving yourself. It's a gift, and receiving it is an act of trust.Submit your story hereIf this episode was helpful, subscribe so you don't miss the next one, new episodes every weekday.Enjoying Prayer Before Work?
