Rest and Relax With a Bowl of Beef Stew

Do you ever get overwhelmed because you take on more stuff than you can handle? I’m sure everyone has. I’m to blame for this for sure.

I feel like if I don’t have something to do at all times then I’m wasting my time. I have my hands in several projects, but sometimes I just feel weighed down.

God let me know in a dream that it’s okay to rest. Take time for yourself. Overworked folks can’t do God’s work or any other work when their bodies and minds are tired.

I woke up from my dream with a feeling of peace on my mind. That day was a day of rest for me. I did absolutely nothing. I found a quiet spot, read my bible, and prayed. Let’s just say I’ve never felt so much peace and rest in my body. 

So everyday I spend one hour by myself with the Lord. No matter how busy my life is I take that time to be with the Lord.

Find your quiet time and talk to the Lord. He will give you rest.
