With YouEgzanp

These days, there are a lot of people talking about "self-care." Beach days, pizza and ice cream, face masks, naps, and bubble baths might sound nice, but is that really all there is to it? It's true that we all probably need to slow down and do a better job of noticing when we're not doing well. But can all of our stress and worry really be fixed by a little relaxation and treating ourselves? 

Next time you're feeling a little low on strength, joy, peace, or hope, here's an idea. Instead of reaching for the ice cream or bubble bath, reach for something that can actually bring real and lasting rest and healing. Reach for extra time with your Creator. Only God can give the kind of refreshment and renewal your heart really needs. And that's a reminder we all need.

Do you or someone you know need God's rest and refreshment right now? What's your prayer today?
