Growing In Resilience: A Prayer JourneyMuestra

Choose Life: Rest

‘The day is Yours, and Yours also the night… You made both summer and winter’. Thank God that He is in charge of time. 

Why don’t we stop? 

Perhaps because we have convinced ourselves that stopping is a luxury we cannot afford. Also, so much of our identity can be so tied in with our activity that we do not know who we are when we stop. 

God has designed us to need sleep and healthy rhythms of rest and work. Without them we become ineffective. To rest requires us to trust God and let go of self-reliance.
