Cultivating a Life of Scripture, Prayer, and Rest
In a world that constantly demands our attention, it’s easy to let spiritual growth take a backseat. But a thriving faith comes from intentionally pursuing Scripture, prayer, and Sabbath rest. Here are some of our favorite resources to help you deepen your walk with God.
1. Rooting Yourself in Scripture
The Bible is our foundation, yet reading and understanding it consistently can be challenging. Whether you prefer a structured plan or an audio experience, here are some great tools to help:
- Legacy’s 2025 Bible Reading Plan is a simple way to stay consistent (Check it out).
- YouVersion Bible App is a free, easy-to-use resource for on-the-go reading.
- Dwell Bible App provides an immersive audio experience that makes Scripture come alive.
- The Navigator’s Topical Memory System is a great way to memorize key verses.
- Moody Bible Commentary and Halley’s Bible Handbook are excellent for deeper study.
2. Developing a Stronger Prayer Life
If prayer feels difficult or routine, these resources can bring fresh inspiration and structure:
- Every Moment Holy offers beautifully written prayers for everyday life.
- Prayers for the Pilgrimage and Be Thou My Vision provide guided prayers and devotions.
- Praying the Bible helps transform Scripture into personal prayers.
3. Embracing the Gift of Sabbath
Rest isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a gift from God. Sabbath-keeping helps us slow down and trust in His provision. Here are some books that can reshape your understanding of rest:
- The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry challenges us to reject busyness and embrace presence.
- Subversive Sabbath explores how Sabbath transforms every area of life.
- The Rest of God reminds us that true rest isn’t just about stopping—it’s about renewal.
- Invitation to Retreat and An Unhurried Life encourage deeper soul rest.
We hope these resources help you grow in faith, find peace in prayer, and embrace the rest God offers. If you’d like to talk more about any of these topics, we’d love to connect with you at Legacy Church. You don’t have to walk this journey alone—let’s grow together!
