Faith That Feels Real: Part 2 - Meeting God in Our WoundsSample

We live in a world that treats rest like laziness or failure—but Jesus calls it essential. In Matthew 11:28–29, He invites the weary to come to Him, promising not just a break from work, but rest for your soul.

Rest isn’t quitting. It’s trusting. It’s saying, “I don’t have to hold everything together—because Jesus is holding me.” Choosing rest is a declaration that your worth isn’t tied to your performance and that you trust God enough to stop striving.

Reflect & Apply:

• When you think about stopping to rest, do you see it as weakness, laziness, or something God invites you into? Why?
• What’s one practical step you could take this week to make room for soul rest with Jesus?
• How might regular rest deepen your trust in God’s provision and care?
