God Will Give You Rest

Scripture:

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 NIV

Reflection:

Rest is more than just doing nothing. It’s doing something intentional for your soul. We often confuse rest with scrolling, binge-watching, or zoning out, but those things don’t always leave us feeling refreshed.

Sometimes, they leave us even more drained.

True rest isn’t about escaping. It’s about reconnecting.

Resting in God means creating space to breathe, to be still, and to let Him refill you. It’s choosing to step away from the pressure to perform and remembering that your worth doesn’t come from productivity. It comes from being God’s beloved.

When we rest in Him, we remember that we’re not holding everything together — He is. Jesus said, “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Not a break, not a nap, but rest for your soul. And that’s the kind of rest that restores you from the inside out.

Journaling Prompt:

What kind of rest has your soul been craving lately? When was the last time you felt truly refreshed, not just distracted? Ask God to show you one small way to rest in Him today, and write it down as an invitation to pause and reconnect.

Prayer:

Jesus, I am weary. Give me rest for my heart and mind. Let me feel Your peace. Amen.

Practical Tip:

Set a time every day to rest with Jesus. Take 5 minutes every day to just release all your cares to Him. Imagine Him taking all the weight off your shoulders. When you feel how amazing it is, you may even schedule more appointments with Him during your day.
