Greetings!
God meets us in the places where our hearts ache.
But sometimes, our hearts aren't the only things that feel heavy, our bodies can experience weariness and our minds burn-out.
Maybe you've asked:
Why am I so tired?
Why don't I feel refreshed—even after I've napped?
Why do I feel like I'm running on empty?
I've been there. I learned that admitting I was tired is not a sign of weakness, but a signal from my body and soul.
I discovered the 7 Types of Rest developed by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician, author of Sacred Rest, and founder of I Choose My Best Life.
As a certified 7 Types of Rest Facilitator, I’m honored to bring this framework to you and explore it through a biblical and practical lens.
I learned that rest isn’t simply about sleep.
Different kinds of depletion require different kinds of rest.
"What kind of tired am I?"
That is the question we’re going to begin answering as we look at the third type of rest: emotional rest.
I'll help you identify where you're depleted and you'll learn to recognize patterns that may be contributing to your exhaustion.
I will teach you how to develop practical rhythms that can help restore your strength and rebuild your capacity to live.
Jesus said in Matthew 11:28:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Yes, Lord. I do need rest. But what kind?
We will hear and apply God's truth:
Come to me, (INSERT YOUR NAME) all you who are weary and burdened, (INSERT YOUR NAME) and I will give you (INSERT YOUR NAME.) Matt. 11:28
Be still (INSERT YOUR NAME) and know that I am God (INSERT YOUR NAME). Psalm 46:10
“Now may the Lord of peace himself give (INSERT YOUR NAME) peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all (INSERT YOUR NAME).” 2 Thess. 3:16
