In a world that constantly demands more of us, finding true rest can feel impossible. But God invites us to a peace that goes beyond simply stopping our tasks. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This isn’t just a break from work or responsibility, but a deep, soul-level rest that restores our strength.
True rest comes from trusting in God’s provision and sovereignty. When we lay down our burdens before Him, we allow His peace to guard our hearts and minds (Philippians 4:7). It’s about letting go of the constant striving and recognizing that God is in control, even when the world around us is chaotic.
To find rest, take time to sit in God’s presence. Pause and reflect on His goodness, knowing He is the source of your peace. In those moments, allow Him to refresh your spirit, so you can carry His peace into the busyness of life. “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:14). Trust that He is with you in every moment, offering rest that the world can’t provide.
