I don’t know about you, but I have a difficult time trying to actually relax. I can collapse from complete exhaustion just fine, but truly relaxing is a foreign concept. I always think, “I need to do this” or “I could be doing that” or “I completely forgot to do this”. It becomes exhausting. But have you ever thought that these thoughts are just pulling you away from what you truly need?
“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.”
—Psalm 46:10-11 KJV
Rest comes in many forms but true rest comes from God. If we take the time to seek him and learn from him, he can give us the peace that surpasses all understanding. Take your time in his presence and just remember to breathe.
