I struggle to trust. I struggle to rest.

I struggle to rest because I struggle to trust.

It sounds simple…Just rest…..Yet….

How do I rest my mind when the to do lists and the questions and the overanalyzing of what I did or didn’t say or what I should or shouldn’t say play on repeat?

How I rest my heart when the hurts of yesterday and the aches of today and the concerns of tomorrow throb a rhythmic beat ?

How do I rest my hands when they move to earn love,
to gain worth,
to keep value?

I must learn to trust. I must learn to rest.

I must learn to trust if I am to learn to rest.

It becomes simple only when I begin to trust.

His Word and Provision.

 His Love. His Grace. His Gentle Spirit.

His Redemption. His Worth.

My mind learns to rest when I trust that my days are numbered and ordered by the Sovereign One and each day abounds with new mercies and grace.

My heart learns to rest when I trust the rhythm that I am loved and held. That those I love are held. That His ways are higher. That His ways are better..

My hands learns to rest when I trust that nothing I can achieve can earn me more love, more worth, more value than simply being His.

I will trust. I will rest.

I will rest because I trust.

Simply trust. Simply #rest
