Run / Rest: A 40 Day Journey Toward Rest

DAY 5 OF 40

Too much RUN and not enough REST is bad for you. 

๐Ÿ“– ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—”๐——: Psalm 127:2

๐Ÿ‘“ ๐—ข๐—•๐—ฆ๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ฉ๐—˜

Often, we think we have to keep running until late at night, and then get up first thing in the morning to get running and active again. Todayโ€™s reading from Psalms calls this โ€œuselessโ€!  Why do you think the writer of this Psalm would say itโ€™s useless to go to bed late and wake up early?

โœ… ๐—”๐—ฃ๐—ฃ๐—Ÿ๐—ฌ  

How could you develop a pattern of rest for yourself? How could you get more rest or sleep?  This is God giving you FULL PERMISSION to get lots of sleep! ๐Ÿ˜ด ๐Ÿ˜ด ๐Ÿ˜ด

Write out a prayer asking God to give you wisdom. This wisdom is to help you decide what needs your full attention and what you can let go of. Ask God to show you how you can let go of some things so that you can get the rest you need.

About this Plan

Run / Rest: A 40 Day Journey Toward Rest

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?
