finding hope and sharing it

Trust April 10, 2024

If I do not

trust

You

enough to get

my daily rest,

I will continue

to burn myself

up and out,

constantly turning back

to recovery mode,

during which my recovery

seems to happen

more

and

more

s

l

o

w

l

y.

The idea of

slowing

and

stopping

this morning

makes me incredibly anxious,

but I know

in my head

that rest and balance

are what

You

want for me.


You also know

what I truly

need to accomplish

today

and

every

day.


Knowing about rest

and

how to rest

is not the trick.

It’s actually trusting

You

enough

to rest

e

v

e

r

y

day.

I feel

I’m stepping over

a threshold

with

You

today

at 9:18 a.m.

I want to live

a healthy life

with

a healthy balance.

I not only

want this for myself,

but I want

to model this

for my

family

and

friends,

because we all need

balance

and

true

rest.


Rest.


I accept

this invitation

from

You

in

trust.


May

I

find

true daily rest in

You

this

day…
