Faith to Rest

ree

Rest isn’t a reward. It’s a requirement of your faith.

You weren’t made to hold everything, fix everything, or push through everything. That’s hustle theology—not sacred surrender.

But there’s a different way. A divine invitation to choose trust over tension.



The Divine Invitation

“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 (NIV)

This is the Theology of Rest™—

  • Where softness becomes strength.

  • Where stillness becomes strategy.

  • Where surrender becomes sacred.

To rest is not to give up. It’s to give over.

To place your burdens in divine hands and remember: You were never meant to do this alone.



This Week’s Practice

  • Light a candle.

  • Place your hand on your heart.

  • Close your eyes and say softly: “I trust that I am held. I release what was never mine to carry.”

Then journal your reflections using the Rest & Reflect Journal, or simply whisper your thoughts into your Notes app. This is your moment of realignment.



Mantra

I am safe to slow down.


 I am strong in my softness.


 I rest because I trust.
