Finding rest when it feels impossible: 10 verses for weary hearts
There are seasons when your body is moving faster than your spirit can keep up, and rest feels like something you’ll get to “once things settle down.” (And somehow… things never quite settle down.) If that’s where you find yourself, you’re in the right place.
Unpacking Anxiety
Jesus held his hands out wide to receive all the worries and fears I’d been carrying. I didn’t self-edit or polish it, but just told him the thought after thought. What else? He’d encourage me to go deeper. Let go of it, Sarah.
Hope of Restoration
Restoration requires intentional action. It calls us to let go of what weighs us down, to make space for rest, and to prioritize our well-being. God partners with us as he restores our hearts.
An Invitation to Rest
Am I heaping more expectations on myself than others even want? Well, besides my Bug, who does her best to tell me exactly what she wants, I think I need to let a lot slide.
“I can’t do it all!” as I collapsed on the couch.
“You’re not meant to – ‘I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it,'” Jesus invites us to live a better way.
