40 Days to Awaken Your Sober MindНамуна

The world tells you to hustle. You know the saying, “Work Hard; Play Hard”. God tells you to pause and restore.

True rest isn’t found through scrolling, sipping, or zoning out. Listen, we’re all prone to wander around these soothing, subtle traps. We find ourselves having to “snap out of it” when we realize we’re on autopilot searching for one more dopamine hit.

God has something better for us. It's a soul-deep renewal. Initially, it takes more discipline and willingness, but it's really about presence, not passivity. It’s being still long enough to hear God’s whisper again. There are many treasures and rewards saved for the secret place found in solitude with the Lord.

Jesus modeled this. In the course of His ministry, He said, let’s get away. He made time for quiet places. So can you.

Sis, real rest is almost your rebellion in a world addicted to escape. As a daughter of God, it is your birthright to find that reset in Him. When we seek His Kingdom first, He brings us life-giving peace and restoration.

Prayer:
Lord, I choose true rest, not escape. Teach me how to be still in Your presence and restore what’s been drained. I come willing and in full surrender, do what only You can do.
