“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,” (Matthew 11:28)
Have you ever felt Jesus whisper this beautiful invitation to better nurture yourself with rest?
From the moment we wake up, we are inundated with noise, pressures, and expectations that wear us down. While we can be heroes when it comes to loving and caring for others, it can be so hard to give ourselves permission to rest and refresh when we’re stressed and need it the most.
Perhaps you’ve always been the encourager, always the one responsible for taking care of others, and you never felt the need to take care of your own mental health before now.
Perhaps you didn’t feel comfortable sharing your needs, or maybe you just didn’t have time to figure it out, so you did what you had always done: put your heart to the side and carried on.
But here, today, perhaps for the first time ever, you wonder if it’s okay to pay attention to your own diminished wellness.
You wonder: What can I do to stop the stress?
