Resting In Him

This week has already begun to exhaust me. Last night I stayed up half the night praying because of the uneasy, and discouraged emotions I was feeling. I've really been wanting to blog, but because of this letter that I read this morning, I know I need to rest first. I don't believe I read this today on accident. So instead of blogging something I wrote, I want to share this because it basically sums up what I need to go do.

...You Need to Rest

I know you often grow weary. I hear your heartfelt cry for more energy to make it through each day. You, my tired one, must trust Me with all your many worries and responsibilities. Rest when I tell you to. I am your heavenly Father, and I know what My girl needs. So listen to the One who loves you the most and knows all about you. I want you to take a step of faith by setting aside a day each week to rest from all your work. If you will obey Me in this, I will multiply your time and supernaturally energize your efforts to get everything done in the following days. Welcome this opportunity to give your mind, body, and spirit a rest. Consider it My love gift to you, and relax in Me!

Love,

Your King and your Resting Place


"Then Jesus said, 'Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.'" -Matthew 11:28
