Even in life’s interruptions and excuses, God offers a deep, steady peace. When we trust Him and rest in His presence, His peace carries us through.

Worry robs us of our happiness, yet it is all for nothing. No matter what the outcome, God is in charge, and He will make everything beautiful in His time!
Inspired by the song “Your Way’s Better” by Forrest Frank and the words of Jesus in Matthew 11, this reflection invites readers to trade striving for rest and trust God’s gentler path.
Some days are full and exhausting, while others invite quiet and stillness. Yet whether our hands are busy or our bodies are tired, Jesus always welcomes us to rest in Him.
So often we exhaust ourselves trying to solve everything alone, forgetting that God never intended us to carry life’s burdens by ourselves. True rest begins when we finally hand our worries over to Him and trust that He is at work.
Jesus demonstrated the importance of rest all through the Bible. Why, then, do we have so many problems resting at Christmastime?
Resting in the Lord is not only our best course of action, but also our only one. Those who belong to Christ are called to rest, not in self or in the world, but in Him!
