Pastor John Arnold challenges us to rethink prayer—not as something done around our work, but as the work—and to rediscover what it means to stand still and let God contend for us.

✨ Sacred Rest for Restoration | Session 2: Not by Might, Nor by Power, but by My Spirit (Zechariah 4:6) ✨

This session is part of Sacred Rest for Restoration, a Yoga Nidra series created to accompany The Restoration Journey—a 40-day devotional experience of spiritual renewal. Learn more or sign up at: www.fpcrogers.com/therestorationjourney.

📖 Theme of this Session:
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty.” (Zechariah 4:6

This practice invites you into a deep place of stillness where you can rest in God’s presence and allow His Spirit to do the work of renewal that your own strength cannot accomplish.

🧘‍♀️ What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided practice of deep relaxation. It helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, improve sleep, and cultivate inner peace. In this restful state, your body relaxes completely while your mind remains gently aware.

✝️ Sacred Rest with God:
I’ve taken the framework of Yoga Nidra and woven it with biblical truth. These sessions are designed to help you rest deeply in God, internalize His Word, and allow it to shape who you are and how you live. That’s why I call them Sacred Rest—time set apart to be with God and experience His restoration in your life.

🙏 Whether you are new to Yoga Nidra or simply longing for spiritual renewal, this practice offers you space to pause, breathe, and return to God.
