Just... Rest

In the spring of 2019, I woke up with a fever.  I hadn’t been feeling well for a few days prior to that.  Instead of going to the doctor, I took a fever reducer and went to work.  By mid-morning, my fever was back and I was ordered by the nurse at my job to leave work and NOT return until I felt better.  I went to the doctor and ended up having an Upper Respiratory Infection.  I was given several prescriptions and was told by my doctor….to just rest.  I waited until my body was in complete shutdown mode to find rest. 

The great news is we don’t have to wait.  During this Lenten season, may we find rest, peace, and comfort in HIS word- through prayer, meditation, and fasting- however we are led and guided by The Holy Spirit.

Dear Lord, when we find ourselves weary and heavy ladened on this life journey, please give us your peace and comfort and help us to find rest in your everlasting arms. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen!
