Aligning Your Heart and Mind: Intentional Rest in a Busy World
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
— Matthew 11:28
Rest is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. In a world that glorifies busyness, intentional rest reminds us that we are human beings, not human doings. Rest is an act of trust, a declaration that God is in control and we don’t have to carry everything on our own.
How to Embrace Intentional Rest
- Schedule Time for Stillness: Block out moments in your day for quiet reflection or relaxation.
- Create a Restful Environment: Remove distractions and create a space that encourages peace.
- Release the Guilt: Remember, rest is part of God’s design for you.
Introspection
- What keeps me from fully embracing rest?

- What might God be saying to me in moments of stillness?
