True Rest

True Rest

Ever since I was forced to wake up one hour earlier for Daylight Saving Time, I wander like a zombie in need of a nap. I snooze my alarm multiple times before I finally get going. I have less time in the morning, so I spend less time with God. Skimping on my time with God, worsens my tired mood. Things that I would normally blow off annoy me.

Matthew 11:28 is, “…Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015). God wants to give me rest. He does this by taking away my burdens. God removes my burden of fatigue by giving me strength. I pick up extra troubles when don’t trust God. My stress increases because I try to fix something I need to leave alone. When I seek God, He refreshes me. He gives me wisdom and energy to finish all I need to get done.
