Plan Your Sabbath: How Resting Well Fuels Your Calling
Let’s get honest, Lionheart.
You’ve mastered multitasking, pushed through pressure, and worn productivity like a crown. You show up for your job, your kids, your community, and your goals, but can you confidently say you show up for your rest?
Because here’s the truth no one’s saying loud enough:
👉🏽 Rest is not a luxury for the weak.
👉🏽 It’s a strategy for the wise.
👉🏽 And it’s your God-given weapon in a world obsessed with hustle.
This week, we’re rewriting the narrative. It’s time to Plan Your Sabbath—not as a day off, but as a divine rhythm that protects your peace, refuels your purpose, and strengthens your calling.
Why Most Women Are Burning Out… Even While Doing “Good Things”
Let’s be real: your calendar is full, but your cup is empty. And you’ve convinced yourself that “just one more thing” is a badge of excellence.
But in the Kingdom, overworking isn’t rewarded—it’s redirected.
God didn’t model constant hustle.
He modeled holy rest.
📖 “By the seventh day, God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work.” – Genesis 2:2
If God Himself rested, what makes us think we’ll outlast the pace He designed us for?
You weren’t created to be constantly "on." You were created to be in rhythm with heaven. That includes pause, margin, and worship.

What Happens When You Don’t Rest?
You don’t just get tired. You start:
- Operating in your flesh instead of the Spirit
- Losing sensitivity to God’s voice
- Making decisions from pressure, not purpose
- Replacing joy with resentment
- Confusing motion with progress
When you skip rest, you skip renewal, the very thing that empowers your assignment.
You can have goals, grit, and greatness, but without rest?
💔 Your calling becomes heavy.
💔 Your creativity runs dry.
💔 Your peace feels like a stranger.
And sis, that’s not God’s plan for you.
Why Sabbath Is a Strategic Power Move
Most people think Sabbath is about rules.
But real Sabbath is about relationship.
It’s God inviting you to stop striving and start receiving.
🕊️ When you Sabbath, you:
- Signal trust in God as your Provider
- Create space to hear His direction
- Reset your nervous system and soul
- Prioritize connection over control
- Release your grip on outcomes and rest in your identity
📖 “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
Sabbath is not wasted time, it’s weaponized worship.
It’s the holy exhale your week is begging for.

Let’s talk science and Spirit.

So no, you’re not being “lazy” for sitting still.
You’re being wise for giving your spirit room to breathe.
3 Steps to Planning a Powerful Sabbath
Here’s how to design a Sabbath that feels both holy and healing.
1️⃣ Prepare for It Like You Prepare for Work
You wouldn’t walk into a boardroom with no plan.
So don’t walk into your rest day with chaos either.
✔️ Pre-make meals
✔️ Tie up loose ends
✔️ Set your phone to “Do Not Disturb”
✔️ Create a “Sabbath setup”—cozy spot, journal, Bible, candles, worship playlist
Give yourself the gift of unhurried space.
2️⃣ Protect the Atmosphere
Your Sabbath shouldn’t feel like a lazy scroll session or a leftover day of chores.
Make it sacred.
✔️ No unnecessary errands
✔️ No heavy conversations
✔️ No email refreshes “just to check”
You are not just resting your body, you are recalibrating your spirit.
Let your home feel like peace. Let your soul feel like presence.
3️⃣ Practice What Refreshes Your Soul
Sabbath doesn’t have to look like sitting in silence all day (unless you want it to).
It can be: ✔️ Walking in nature
✔️ Painting, reading, or journaling
✔️ Worship, prayer, dancing barefoot in the living room
✔️ Snuggling your kids with no agenda
✔️ Dreaming with God again
Ask yourself: What makes me feel most like myself again?
That’s your Sabbath sweet spot.
Your Rest Is Part of Your Witness
This isn’t just about self-care.
This is about Kingdom culture.
The world is exhausted, anxious, and addicted to achievement.
But when a woman of God chooses to rest on purpose, she becomes a light.
She shows that faith fuels her, not frenzy.
She leads from overflow, not obligation.
She carries peace that doesn’t crack under pressure.
And that’s magnetic.
📖 “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.” – Isaiah 30:15
