Stop Withholding Rest
“You may not realize it, but often you’re the one withholding rest from yourself. It’s shockingly easy to do…life gets busy. A lot rests on your shoulders, and you are afraid to set down even a part of that burden, aren’t you?
But you don’t have to carry it all or all alone or all the time. Trust in the One who is holding out His hands to you. Lay your worries and burdens down at the throne of God, and let Him shoulder your anxieties.
The Lord will provide for you. Right now, you need to rest. You have permission. Do whatever it takes—time away from work or school, letting go of a few responsibilities, or asking for help. Rest us within your reach, let yourself have it.
Teach me to rest. Lord, I am tired and weary. Show me and correct me when I withhold rest from myself .” (Rest)
