🌿 Day 7: Grateful for Rest
Scripture:
“Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.’”
(Matthew 11:28–29, NLT)
Devotion:
Rest is not a reward; it’s a promise from God. Jesus invites us to bring our exhaustion, worries, and heavy loads to Him, not to fix everything in our own strength, but to find rest in His. When you pause to rest, you are practicing gratitude by acknowledging that you are not the source of your strength; He is. True rest refreshes your body, renews your mind, and restores your soul because it’s rooted in His presence.
Affirmation:
✨ I rest in God’s presence, knowing He restores my soul and renews my strength.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for being my place of rest. When I grow weary, remind me that Your arms are always open. Help me to slow down and rest in Your promises. May my heart find peace in Your presence today. Amen.
Reflection Question:
Where do you need to slow down and allow God to give you rest this week?
