Transform Your Life Through Gratitude and PrayerPrøve

## I’m Grateful for Rest I love to sleep! Rest is a ministry! Give me a good cat nap with a cozy blanket, and I’m in heaven. Life becomes instantly good. I’ve been learning a lot about rest these days and the type of rest that fits my Enneagram type. I’m a Type 1 on the Enneagram, and the best rest for Type 1s comes from getaways! Type 1's rest best when we are outside of our usual surroundings. I’m not sure what Enneagram type you are, but I suggest you research it to make sure you are resting effectively for your personality type. Let’s take time to be grateful for rest and having the time to rest. Do you struggle with finding time to rest because your schedule is so hectic? Show gratitude in advance for the time to rest. After all, we can show up as our best selves if we aren't mentally alert and barely able to keep our eyes open. Let's also acknowledge the need for mental rest! Many of us are managing families, work or school, relationships, etc. The truth is, it gets stressful and overwhelming at times. We often need to rest our brains for a while. It's good to know that God provides us with rest when we are weary and burdened. Do you go right to Him when you are filled with anxiousness or do you try to figure it out yourself? Today, take time to write what good rest looks like for you. What does it look like to surrender your burdens to the Lord and relax your body and mind. Prayer: Lord, we don’t take for granted that we have a place to rest our heads at night. Thank you God for rest and rejuvenation not just for our body but for our soul. Thank you God that we can come to you whenever we feel overwhelmed and weary and we will find rest in You. AMEN.
