Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

How to find rest in God amidst the chaos of life?

 

 

 

The Bible tells us to "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).

This verse reminds us that God is always there for us, ready to provide the rest we need when life becomes too much to handle.

But how exactly can we find rest in God amidst the chaos of life?

Here are a few ways:

 

  1. Spend time in prayer and meditation: Taking a few moments out of our busy schedules to connect with God through prayer and meditation can provide us with the rest we need. It allows us to release our worries and focus on God's peace and presence.

 

  1. Read the Bible: I know it is hard to pick up our Bible when we are in the midst of Chaos. BUT, the Word of God is a source of strength, hope, and comfort. When life gets overwhelming, turning to the Bible and reading God's promises can help us find rest and perspective.

 

  1. Surround yourself with an uplifting community: Being around like-minded believers who can support and encourage us can also help us find rest in God. This could be through a small group, church community, or even close friends and family. Personally, I cannot overstate the significance of a Gospel-centred community group in helping my growth in Christ.

 

  1. Count our blessings: Taking time each day to reflect on the blessings in our lives and give thanks to God can help us find rest in His goodness and faithfulness, even amidst chaos.

 

  1. Trust in God's plan: When things get overwhelming, it can be easy to try and take control of the situation. But instead, we should trust in God's perfect plan for our lives. Surrendering our worries to Him and having faith in His plan can provide us with the ultimate rest and peace.

 

Remember, finding rest in God is a continuous journey. It requires intentional effort and surrendering our worries to Him. But as we do so, we can experience the true rest that only He can provide amidst the chaos of life. So let us continue to seek Him and find our rest in Him. 

Psalm 62:5, "Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him."

In God, we can find true and lasting rest for our souls, no matter what challenges life may bring. So let us continually seek Him and turn to Him for rest and rejuvenation in the midst of chaos.

 

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for calling those who are weary and burdened to come to you and find rest. Help me to turn to you in the midst of chaos and find true peace and rest in your presence. Help me to trust in your perfect plan and surrender my worries to you.

I cling to the promise in Isaiah 40:31, "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

May I find stillness and rest in you today. 

In Your son's' name, Amen.
