Matthew 11
 28 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and
I will give you rest.
 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls

 Both rest and restoration are gifts from God. In Jesus we can find rest, a rest which can only be received by trusting in his grace, his faithfulness, and his presence rather than personal effort. Rest is the first requirement that enables restoration; in other words you must sit down in "heavenly rest" to receive the power of divine restoration. The purpose of rest is to renew our energy, vitality, joy, and spiritual strength, and transform weariness into wholeness.

Rest and restoration depend on the condition of our heart, our internal state of being and focus is on the inner person, providing relief from stress, anxiety, and the burdens of life.
