Run / Rest: A 40 Day Journey Toward Rest

DAY 4 OF 40

Sometimes it takes WORK to REST.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—”๐——: Psalm 46:10

๐Ÿ‘“ ๐—ข๐—•๐—ฆ๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ฉ๐—˜

God gives some specific instructions in this verse โ€” be still. Being still isnโ€™t something that lots of people are great at. Often, you have to work hard to find time to rest. You have to be determined to drown out distractions and embrace stillness. 

โœ… ๐—”๐—ฃ๐—ฃ๐—Ÿ๐—ฌ 

What can you do this week to be intentional about being still? Ask yourself why being still goes against your desire to keep running. 

Today, set a timer for 5 minutes. Find a comfy place to be; maybe sitting in a chair or laying on the floor. Perhaps even sitting in the middle of the lunchroom by yourself. Take 5 minutes to sit and be still. Ask for help to know God more.

About this Plan

Run / Rest: A 40 Day Journey Toward Rest

Stress. Anxiety. Chaos. Hustle. Worry. Busyness. These are words you might be thinking about, talking about, and experiencing pretty regularly. It sometimes feels like weโ€™re stuck running a race to get things done, be the best, do everything, and earn everyoneโ€™s approval. But if you want to keep running, youโ€™ve got to rest. For the next 40 days, what if you made it a habit to rest in Godโ€™s presence?
