To rest is to trust

Rest, at its core, is an act of trust. When you stop, let go of control, and sleep, you are telling God: "I trust that the world doesn't depend on me." Anxiety does the opposite — it insists you must always be alert, always doing, always fixing. But the Word invites us to rest and to wait, without irritation, without comparison, without hurry. You don't need to grow agitated over what others have or what you still lack. There is a time of God's for everything, and until it arrives, your place is confident rest. Tonight, truly choose to rest in the Lord. Not just laying your body down, but surrendering your heart. Wait on Him without distress. Those who trust are able to stop — and those who stop in God's hands sleep in peace.
