You Need Rest


Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

You need rest… 

My daily routines have been overwhelmed with deep thinking mixed with tiredness. Days started to blend. time was out of whack. It is crazy how a season of death and sickness can throw a wrench in everything. 

Sleep was given but rest was not found. Peace eluded me and tension being to grow. I tried spending time with God through prayer and reading of His word. Thinking, this would bring peace, but it felt more like a task I was checking off my list. 

I asked myself, “Why can I not find rest during this time?” Then it came to me. Deep within my soul an answer was given: “To truly rest, you need to release whatever you’re holding on to.” Jesus said, “Come unto Him all who are heavy laden with burdens…”(Matthew 11:28-30). My intent in coming to Him was right but my grip on my own thoughts, stress, and doubt would not allow me to truly rest. 

Every day I wake I need to come and rest with my Savior. Letting go of preoccupied thoughts and desires to receive the rest I need for the day.
