Reframing Productivity through Grace | Your Nightly Prayer

We live in a world that idolizes hustle and glorifies busyness. But God's definition of productivity isn’t about constant output—it’s about faithfulness, presence, and grace. Today’s prayer reminds us that our worth isn’t measured by what we check off a list, but by who we belong to. 📖 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 📖 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to pause. And you are deeply loved even when you’re not “producing.” Let God’s grace reframe your idea of productivity—not as a demand, but as an invitation to walk in step with Him.
