Restlessness and Anxiety: Finding Rest in God's Presence
Do you struggle with a restless heart? We live in such a broken world where there is pain, misery, and suffering. How often is it that you find rest in this restless world?
Apart from God, Augustine of Hippo found that he sought after disordered loves that left his heart hungry, lonely, and enslaved.
Perhaps you have found the same in your life.
Augustine is known for this quote, “Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.”
He found that true rest is only secured in God alone. Our true happiness depends on us living consistently for the purpose for which we were created, chiefly to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.
If you want to find deep, real, and satisfying happiness in this life, it can be found in no other person than God Himself.
In this brief video, learn about finding rest in God’s presence.
