Don’t Have to Earn Rest
Somewhere along the way, rest got tangled up with worth. Maybe you were taught to keep going until you collapse. Could it be that maybe slowing down felt like failure. But that’s not how God designed you to live.
Rest is not something you earn—it’s something you need.
It’s how your body heals, how your mind resets, how your spirit reconnects with God. Jesus Himself rested. He withdrew. Also, He slept through storms. He invited us into rhythms of grace, not grind.
Today, give yourself permission to step back. To be quiet. To be still. You don’t have to finish the list first. Remember, you don’t have to explain or justify the break. You are already worthy of rest, simply because you are His.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” —Matthew 11:28
