He came to a certain place and spent the night there, because the sun had set; and he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head, and lay down in that place. Genesis 28:11
God in your mercy, you have, time and time again, granted us rest. True rest for our souls comes from you. How comfortable is it to use a stone as a pillow? That's what your servant Jacob did. Maybe we could look at that stone as if it were you, our rock and refuge. You are a resting place for us, not just when we need to get our sleep, but you give us relief from daily difficulties, and even good stress is still stress. While the world spins with the aches and struggles that so often accompany life along with the rising joys and uncountable blessings unfolding all around us, you are the calm place, our sheltering peace. Our restless hearts find rest in you. Amen.
