Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
- Matthew 11:28
We live in a fast-paced world where everything seems to move at breakneck speeds and if you take a moment to blink you might miss out on something.
But perception and reality are at great odds so we end up having a distorted perspective and the end result is we feel overwhelmed, and exhausted and leave no room for rest.
To make matters worse we subject ourselves to mass amounts of caffeine and fail to get the proper amounts of sleep. All this equals to underline stress that will impact our mental and physical well-being. So how do we overcome all these challenges?
The most unlikely source remains hidden in plain sight and yet is available to anyone willing to look beyond the mundane.
The peace of God transcends any circumstance we may face if we allow him to develop it within us over time.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 4:6â€-‬7
When we pray and seek his direction found in his word he grants us a clearer vision of his will and we learn to walk in his precepts with confidence.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need - Hebrews 4:16
Jesus modeled this example for our benefit so we can learn to stay connected to God regardless of whatever we may face.
And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.
- Matthew 14:23
The goal behind seeking rest is more about staying connected to our savior. It's in those moments we learn to surrender all to him so we might take up his will and obedience.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me - John 6:38
What is his will for us?
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day - John 6:40
Have you placed your trust in Jesus?
