What does true rest look like?
TALK TO GOD
Throughout His ministry, Jesus often withdrew to rest and connect with God. Whether you’re driving, going on a walk, or spending time with the people in your life, pause and talk to God throughout your day.
BE INTENTIONAL
Prioritizing rest doesn’t happen by accident. Try scheduling time to be still each day on your calendar, and then communicate those times to your family and friends. This will help you stay accountable when the world tries to pull you into work and activity.
PRACTICE SABBATH REST
From the beginning, God modeled rest, and He invites us to make it part of our weekly rhythm. This idea of intentionally setting aside a day to be with God and enjoy His presence is called Sabbath. It’s a way to remember that God loves us not because of what we do, but because of who He is.
