Six short devotionals on rest — on permission to stop, the holiness of doing nothing, and not having to earn your peace.

Rest is the one instruction most of us treat as optional. We will believe almost anything about God before we believe he wants us to stop.
These six devotionals make the case gently. Read one on a Sunday, or on whichever day you keep promising yourself you will slow down.

“God gives me permission to slow down and rest.”

“Give yourself permission to rest. Jesus withdrew to quiet places too.”

“We are blessed to have one day a week for rest and relaxation.” — Crystal McDowell

“Even God rested. Take time to breathe and be renewed.”

“Let go of the need to be busy, and find peace in stillness.”

“Healing is holy. Rest is holy. You don't have to earn your right to peace.”
