A Prayer to Rest in the Finished Work of Jesus | Your Daily Prayer

Contributing Writer

Published Apr 16, 2025

In today's prayer, we take a moment to rest deeply in the completed work of Jesus Christ. It's a call to lay aside our efforts and trust wholly in what He has already accomplished on the Cross—our salvation, peace, and eternal hope. Let this prayer guide you into a restful state, knowing that nothing more needs to be added to His perfect sacrifice.
