Do you rest well? I sure don't. Rest doesn't come easy for me. It's one of those things I've struggled with my entire life. I seem to be one of those people that find it difficult to naturally rest. Recently, I have turned a corner and have learned about my need for rest and how to live that out. I believe we need rest in various dimensions of our lives: physical, social, mental and spiritual. We were created to live with cycles of rest including: daily, weekly, and other significant times throughout the year. Ultimately, rest begins in our spiritual lives and has to be rooted in our relationship with Christ.
