Rest Rather Than Strive

imagesby Hazel Straub

Rest in the Lord. Quit striving and exerting much effort and energy, getting stressed and exhausted. Give yourself a God break and let him carry the responsibility. Savor your life!

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matthew 11:28-30 MSG)

    His grace is something I am looking into like never before 👍. I love the idea of giving ourselves a God break to let Him carry the load.

    Resting in the Lord, waiting upon Him, frees our minds and our bodies to listen to God’s guidance and frees us to obey. Thank you for this post. Karen

      Yes, we do so much better when we rest in the Lord. There is more peace, patience, energy, joy, ability to obey him and even much better listening ability. Resting is definitely the way to live! You are welcome, Karen.
      Blessings, Hazel
