Rest sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? But let’s be honest—between laundry, work, carpool lines and never-ending to-do lists, rest can feel like a luxury you just don’t have time for. Especially as women, we often carry the weight of so much—home, family, relationships, faith—and forget to pause.
But here’s the truth: God designed you for rest. Not just naps or vacations (though those are lovely too), but a deeper kind of rest. The kind that reaches into your spirit and reminds you that you’re not the one holding it all together—He is.
Sabbath isn’t about rules—it’s about rhythm. It’s not one more thing to add to your list. It’s a gift. A breath. A reminder that your worth isn’t in what you produce but in who you belong to.
So, how do you find rest when life won’t slow down?
Start small. Even five quiet minutes in the morning can re-center your heart. Read a verse, whisper a prayer, just breathe.
Take tech breaks. Set a time in the evening to put your phone down. Let the silence make space for connection—with God and with the people around you.
Notice the now. Build in tiny pauses. Step outside for a minute. Close your eyes and thank God for something small. Let those moments become holy.
Schedule a reset. Choose one time each week for something that fills your soul—reading, journaling, walking, whatever reminds you that you’re human and loved.
Make it a family thing. Light a candle at dinner. Ask your kids what made them smile this week. Share where you’ve seen God show up.
You don’t need a perfect schedule to find Sabbath. You just need a willing heart. Because rest isn’t about stopping everything—it’s about remembering who your rest comes from.
Let yourself breathe today, friend. God’s got you—and He’s inviting you to rest in that truth.
