Three Reasons We Need Rest and Solitude

1. God made rest a priority

He rested after He worked. Jesus sought solitude and so should we.

2. God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness

When we take time to rest and seek God, we are acknowledging that we need His help. We weren’t meant to carry the weight of the world, but we often don’t realize how badly we need rest until we take it.

3. Respite gives us the opportunity to hear God

More than anything, I want to hear God. But in order to lean in and listen close, I have to be still and quiet.

How are you resting? Do you carve out times of solitude to be alone with God?

PRAYING FOR OUR BROTHERS & SISTERS IN CHRIST Health, Wisdom, Strength

And pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. 

With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Ephesians 6:18
