I’ve been thinking…why is rest something we desire so much, yet struggle to actually do?

Sometimes we aren’t resting—we’re just pausing. Our bodies may stop, but our minds are still working, worrying, fixing, and trying to figure everything out.

And sometimes we can’t find rest because we’re working on something God never assigned us to carry.

Maybe instead of asking, “God, how do I make this work?” we need to ask, “God, is this something You want me working on at all?”

Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

Today, I’m learning that true rest isn’t just stopping—it’s trusting God enough to release what I can’t control. 🤍

Do the work God assigned you. Release what He didn’t. And rest in Him.
