Learning to "rest" is not quickly learned.
Experience will tell us it slowly is earned.
"Resting" is all about learning to trust,
For God's perfect timing we cannot adjust.
Oh, what sweet blessing to rest in His peace
And feel anxiety's misery cease.
God brings tranquility... this is the place
Where we can relax and learn of His pace.
We are not meant to stand all alone
And manage our struggles and fears on our own.
To lean on our God and be wrapped in His peace
Is Heaven's sweet gift to bring us release.
"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him..."
Psalm 37:7 KJV
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28 KJV
