“In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength.”
—ISAIAH 30:15 (NIV)

OVERVIEW

Rest, on its surface, seems like such a simple concept. Yet, for the vast majority of us, our lives are over-filled with work deadlines, social obligations and wasted energy spent trying to live up to the expectations that the world has placed on us. God wants us to architect our lives in a way that depends on Him for strength and sustenance, and not ourselves.
