Choosing Rest Devotions ~ June 8-14, 2026
Lord, we submit our soul, our emotions, our feelings, our ‘how-is-this-affecting-me’ to our spirit.
As we submit to you, peace, rest and stillness is rising up. You are releasing rest through your breath, through your touch, through your voice, through your Presence. As you release rest in tangible ways, we get to experience it in all areas of our lives.
Thank you that rest is our weapon, where we can put to death anxiety, fear, stress, doubt, and worry. Thank you for the freedom to choose. Thank you for not only the ability to choose but thank you for rest, and the ability to partner with the Holy Spirit in rest.
Today, we choose rest! Amen
Rest Devotions June 1-7, 2026
Lord, I thank you that the very first thing you introduced into our relationship was the capacity to be at rest. You created rest to reside inside of us. It’s a place that you are calling us to abide, to remain, to stay and to live in.
As we choose rest, and surrender ourselves to you, rest begins to displace everything that resists it. What a magnificent gift you have given us!
Thank you for the promise that when we are still, we get to experience you in deeper ways. We get to know you. Lord, when you are present, nothing else matters. So, we surrender to you, our very being and enter into your rest. Amen.
