There Is Rest and Peace When You Lean Upon Him
Jun
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
Have you ever felt weighed down by the pressures of life—stress, uncertainty, or exhaustion from carrying everything on your shoulders? God never intended for us to live burdened and anxious. He calls us to lean on Him and find true rest and peace.
Let’s explore what it means to rest in God and how we can experience His supernatural peace even in the midst of life’s chaos.
1. True Rest Comes from Trusting in God
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” – Isaiah 26:3
Rest isn’t just about physical relaxation—it’s about a peaceful heart and mind, knowing that God is in control. The more we trust Him, the more peace we experience.
📖 Biblical Example:
- The disciples panicked during a storm, but Jesus slept peacefully in the boat (Mark 4:35-41). Why? Because He trusted His Father completely.
🚀 Practical Step:
- Ask yourself: What worries can I surrender to God today?
2. When You Lean on Him, He Carries Your Burdens
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7
We often carry unnecessary burdens—worrying about the future, finances, relationships, or things out of our control. But God never intended for us to handle life alone.
📖 Biblical Example:
- Moses felt overwhelmed leading the Israelites, but God provided help (Exodus 18:17-23).
- When we lean on Him, He strengthens us and lifts the weight we try to carry alone.
🚀 Practical Step:
- Take one minute today to pray and release your burdens to God.
3. Rest Is Found in His Presence
“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10
In a fast-paced world, we rarely take time to be still. But true rest is found when we quiet our hearts and spend time in His presence.
📖 Biblical Example:
- Mary sat at Jesus’ feet while Martha was distracted with work (Luke 10:38-42).
- Jesus reminded Martha that resting in His presence was the most important thing.
🚀 Practical Step:
- Set aside 5-10 minutes today to pray, worship, or read Scripture without distractions.
4. God’s Peace Guards Our Hearts in Difficult Times
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7
God’s peace isn’t based on circumstances—it surpasses human understanding. Even in trials, His peace protects our hearts when we stay connected to Him.
📖 Biblical Example:
- Paul and Silas worshiped in prison (Acts 16:25). Instead of despair, they chose praise—and God moved powerfully.
🚀 Practical Step:
- Whenever you feel anxious, stop and pray immediately. Invite God’s peace into your heart.
