Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. Psalm 116:7

Life can become unbearably busy.

Like you can’t even turn around.

What should a person do when surrounded by so much noise?

Shut the door.

Push the pause button.

Sit and simply be.

Life will still happen.

Dates will still come and go.

And you don’t have to do it all.

Don’t have to be all things for all people. Even if it’s yourself.

And whether you realize it or not, God created rest.

He created your body to rest when overwhelmed.

He created you to pause when your mind contains too much.

He created you to unwind the string that’s been wound too tight.

Ask Him to quiet your soul.

Ask Him to bring you rest.

And ask Him to help you close the door for a bit.

Need permission?

You’ve got it.
