The comforting bid of Jesus to the worn and weary soul:
Come to me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest.
You’re tired. Tired in your body. Tired in your soul.
At times, life feels hard, chaotic, or just mind-numbingly ordinary. But what if our souls could find rest even amid the onslaught of chaos and confusion? What if we could exchange that heavy dread and disquiet for a peace that passes understanding? Author Sarah J. Hauser believes that while our outward lives are falling apart, our inner lives can grow stronger.
Sarah is on the show sharing about her book titled All Who are Weary. It was born from Sarah’s own story—her depression, grief, and tears. Sarah, no stranger to weariness, invites us to join her in bringing our heavy burdens to Jesus and taking the light burden He offers instead.
Join us to find deep, lasting rest by throwing off nine soul-crushing burdens: worthlessness, condemnation, worry, self-sufficiency, insecurity, comparison, perfectionism, insignificance, and despair. We were never meant to carry these things in the first place. We will no longer feel stuck, strained, and discouraged but instead, be equipped with Scripture and encouraged by personal stories that help us identify the burdens we need to release. Because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can live with joy and endurance, come what may. If you’re craving rest for your soul, Jesus invites you to come to Him because only there can true rest be found.
Quotes:
Life is hard.
We are finite creatures that live in a fallen world.
It’s normal to need to refuel.
Sacred Rest- Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith
Sleep is a byproduct of rest
Psalm 66
When we remember God brought us through, we don’t worry as much about the future.
We don’t have to fear bad news because God is greater.
There is so much day-to-day work that is unseen and feels undone. We wonder what’s the point? Do I need to do something more important?
1 Corinthians 15:58
Everything done through the power of the Spirit for the glory of God is not in vain.
We can’t find rest outside of the Lord.
Solitude, silence, and reading Scripture give us rest.
We want to be self-sufficient, but we need God. It’s okay to need help.
God knows, and He sees you.
Rested people help others rest.
Sleep, sabbath, and silence.
