Some of us have been on the go for so long that we’ve forgotten what it’s like to be still and fully rested. We know all too well what it’s like to be exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated—just tired of being tired. Seriously, when was the last time you felt completely rested, secure, joyful, and unworried?
Well, how about you choose something different for yourself today? You don’t have to spend your entire day running around, trying to accomplish an impossible to-do list. You can choose to rest in God. Ask Him what you need to do today and do nothing more. Instead of wearing yourself out and realizing you haven’t accomplished much, spend time with Him. Talk to God. Read some Scriptures. Take a nap. Eat a snack that makes you smile. Take a moment to laugh, and I mean a deep laugh that brings tears to your eyes. Sit down and put your feet up. Take some time for you today.
God’s desire is not for you to be exhausted, overwhelmed, and irritable. He wants to refresh you: mind, body, and soul. So, instead of running around nonstop today, fight that desire for busyness. Today, I encourage you to be still and enjoy some time with the Father. Sit down, Sisters, and rest awhile. Doesn’t that sound amazing?
