Rest and Not Stress

by Kay Heitsch

Rest! Be still and trust God. ~ Relax in the Lord Quotes ~

We may sit down or even lie down, but we are not resting. Our minds are going a mile a minute. We roll many things over and over in our minds. We worry about this, that, or the other.

Our Bible verse says, "Be still in the presence of the LORD and wait patiently for Him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes." Psalm 37:7 NLT

Just think how peaceful our lives would be if we put this verse into practice. Be still in the LORD's presence. Wait patiently for Him to act. How about not worrying about evil people and their wicked schemes? Being still, not worrying, and being patient would sure help us to rest and not stress.

Rest! Be still and trust God.
