Welcome to Day 16 of our 40-Day Devotion! 

Today, we’re talking about something we all need—true rest. It is not just physical rest but the kind of peace that comes when we stop striving, stop trying to prove ourselves and start trusting that God is our rock, refuge, and safe place.

Psalm 62:1-2 reminds us:
“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.”

No matter how much we try, we will never be perfect. We will have moments of failure, weakness, and doubt. But our standing with God was never based on our performance—it has always been based on Christ’s righteousness. Today’s episode is about laying down the weight of striving and stepping into the unshakable peace of God’s presence.

Episode Highlights:

💛 Why we struggle to rest in God’s presence – The pressure to prove ourselves
💛 What Psalm 62:1-2 teaches us about true rest – Finding stability in God, not in our achievements
💛 The weight of striving vs. the freedom of grace – Why we don’t have to carry our failures alone
💛 How to run to God instead of from Him – Choosing grace over shame
💛 Practical ways to rest in God today – Letting go of self-reliance and embracing His presence
