We all need rest.
A supernatural peace to carry us through our days and our nights. This peace does not panic, this rest is not rattled. It does not strive and it does not over-think.
But oh my, life gets heavy and we get weary. And when we’re tired, we often forget we are children of the Promise.
“Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.'” ~ Matthew 11:28-29
Jesus is near. Always. He wants to teach us to live freely and lightly. This passage reminds us to exhale and refocus our weary heart, mind, and spirit.
Whether it’s 3 a.m. or 3 p.m., when restlessness robs you, think on these beautiful promises. Here’s a little trick that helps me refocus:
- Remember ~ You are God’s cherished child. He’s with you and for you.
- Engage ~ Talk to your Creator. Spill it all. He is patient, kind, and merciful.
- Surrender ~ “I hand it all to You.”
- Trust ~ When your thoughts want to worry and strive again, say “Nope. God’s got this.” Then think about your blessings, not your burdens.
When I am afraid, I will trust in you. ~ Psalm 56:3
☮ May we continue to protect our peace and truly rest.
