Theme: Embracing God’s Peace & Thankfulness
Scripture: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
Hello, beautiful sister in Christ!
How are you feeling today? Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or just needing a deep breath? If so, you’re not alone. Life pulls us in a hundred different directions—work, family, responsibilities, and unexpected challenges. But in the middle of all the chaos, God invites you to rest in Him.
Today’s challenge is finding rest in God and embracing gratitude for His presence in our lives.
The Rest Your Soul Needs
When Jesus says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,” He isn’t just talking about physical rest. He’s offering something more profound, peace that fills your heart even when life is uncertain.
So often, we believe that rest comes after everything is done—after the work is finished, after the to-do list is checked off, after the kids are settled. But here’s the truth:
🚨 Rest isn’t something we earn. It’s a gift from God.
When we rest in Him, we’re reminded that we don’t have to carry everything alone. He is our strength, our refuge, and our source of peace.
Today’s Task: A Gratitude Reset
One of the simplest ways to shift our focus from stress to peace is through gratitude.
➡️ Take a moment today to write down five things you are grateful for. These don’t have to be big, life-changing moments—sometimes, gratitude is found in the smallest blessings:
✨ A morning cup of coffee in peace
✨ A kind word from a friend
✨ A beautiful sunset
✨ The ability to pray and talk to God freely
✨ The strength to keep going, even on tough days
By shifting our focus to gratitude, we see God’s goodness in every part of our lives. And when we see His goodness, we find rest in Him.
