When you get real rest, you feel renewed, reinvigorated, and ready to conquer the world.
So why don’t we rest the way God intended?
For so long, I was getting it wrong. I worked multiple jobs, surviving on just 2-4 hours of sleep—all because I was afraid of being broke and without. I thought if I didn’t work harder, longer, and faster, I wouldn’t have enough.
But then God convicted me.
I had to fall on my knees and ask for forgiveness—because I wasn’t trusting in Him, I was trusting in my own hands to make a way.
But who made these hands?
God did.
God Created Rest for You
God did not design us to work ourselves to death. He designed us for balance, faith, and obedience. He even modeled rest for us:
"By the seventh day God had finished his work, and so he rested. God blessed the seventh day and made it special, because on that day he rested from his work." (Genesis 2:2-3 CEV)🔗 Read More
If God Himself rested, why do we think we don’t need to?
Rest is a Spiritual Discipline
When we trust God enough to rest, something amazing happens:
✅ Our minds are renewed.
✅ Our bodies are restored.
✅ Our spirits are strengthened.
And here’s the truth—when you rest, your business, your plans, and your purpose don’t stop. In fact, when you trust in God’s plan and not your own effort, things start working for you.
So today, as you fast, let go of the need to hustle for your worth.
💡 God’s plan for you is not failure—it’s prosperity, renewal, and victory. Rest in Him. Trust in Him.
