I’m tired. I’m cold. I’m hungry.

Those are my three most used sentences at work I believe.

I sleep all night and then an hour into work, I complain about how sleepy I am. I complain about wanting to go back to bed. What’s wrong with me??

In this day and time, we never slow down. We get up and get ready for the day. We work all day and as women (let’s face it girls) we work once we get home too!

It’s a never ending cycle.

So what do we do? How do we find the rest we so desperately need??

We MAKE time to rest in Him.

Jesus gave us the solution. In Matthew 11:28-29, He told us “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

REST FOR MY SOUL! Now that is what I need. Not a nap, not a good night’s sleep, but true rest for my soul!

My friends, this can only be found in Him. We can try everything from sleepy time tea (by the way is my favorite!) to napping on our lunch breaks to sleeping in on the weekends. But none of that will help if we don’t have true rest for our souls.

Our souls are tired. Especially these days when it seems like everything and everyone demands our attention. So now, more than ever, it is so important to carve out that time to just rest in Him. We need to make time to read His word, to talk to Him in prayer.

It’s time to come to Him and let Him give you the rest you so desperately need.

Until next time….
