Day 40

The pain we experience today will not last forever, and you can rest assured that that is a promise worth running toward.

📖 READ: Revelation 21:4
​

👓 OBSERVE: Revelation is the very last book of the Bible. It’s the final word. Jesus always has the last word on everything. He has the last word on our identity, our worth, and our value. And because of that, we do not have to run like crazy to accomplish goals to prove our worth to people. We don’t have to work to be the best or to get the best, because Jesus has given us what we need. This verse says that there will be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain. What else should there be no more of? No more striving? No more hustling to get first place? No more trying to prove ourselves?
✅ APPLY: Can you live with hope knowing that the day is coming where the hustling, striving, working, and stress will all be wiped away? How can you live with eternity in mind?

​Write a prayer of thanks for the fact that the day of rest is coming where we will be free from the expectations of others. Thank Jesus that the life he came to give you is rich and full.

Day 39

Today, though you face troubling times, you can rest in the knowledge that Jesus brings peace to our troubled hearts.

📖 READ: John 14:1-4
​

👓 OBSERVE:
Jesus would often remind his disciples not be troubled, but to trust in him. He gave them hope that he was going ahead of them to prepare a place of peace for them. It’s because of Jesus, death on the cross and his resurrection that we can be with him in this place he went to prepare for us. What does Jesus mean when he says, “You know the way to where I am going.”?
Picture
✅APPLY:
How can you go to God when your heart is troubled or when your mind can’t stop thinking about your to-do list? Can you learn to go to run toward God even when you can’t get rid of nagging thoughts?

​Ask God to give you the courage to share this good news with a friend. Take a moment to share the peace you have experienced through trust in Jesus. Continue to pray that this friend would trust Jesus to care for them, too.

Day 38

Today, you can rest safely knowing that Jesus has experienced the same hardships we are facing, and yet overcame them all.

📖 READ: Mark 6:1-6

👓 OBSERVE: Jesus performed miracles no one had seen before. One time he went to his hometown, a place where he was well known, and yet, despite the incredible things he did, the people there did not believe in him. Why don’t you think they wanted to listen to him?
Picture
✅ APPLY: Just like Jesus, despite our accomplishments, or the good that we do, some people won’t listen to us, recognize us, or believe us. Is the fact that even Jesus felt rejection a comfort to you? Can you rest in what Jesus says about you and believe that he says you are enough, regardless of what others think?

​Say a prayer of gratitude that Jesus has experienced the emotions you are experiencing, and that you are not alone in your emotions. This can give us peace in situations when we feel like we’re not enough for people, or that our accomplishments aren't enough to win someone’s 
approval. Thank Jesus for affirming that you are enough, and that you can live from his approval of you. ​

Sometimes, after all the running, you just need a good nap. 🙂

📖 READ: Mark 4:35-40
​

👓 OBSERVE: Jesus slept. That’s right, Jesus took a nap. On a boat. In a storm! What does this show you about Jesus’ humanity?
✅ APPLY: Think about the circumstances in this story. There was a violent storm. The disciples were experienced fishermen and probably faced a lot of crazy storms., so the fact that they had no chill shows that this was a BIG storm. ⛈ But, in the middle of the roaring waves and crashing winds, Jesus showed the disciples that he had the power to calm the storm and bring peace. What is the storm, stress, or chaos that you find yourself in the middle of right now? How can Jesus words, “Silence! Be still!” encourage you?

​Write a prayer 
to Jesus, telling him everything about the storm you find yourself in right now. Tell him about the stress that feels like waves crashing over you and that you’re struggling to keep your head above water and swim through it. Thank Jesus that he gives peace in the middle of the storm, and that he does not leave you or turn his back on you. ​

Sometimes the greatest healing we receive is experienced through the simple act of rest. Are you willing to run after that healing today?

📖 READ: Mark 3:1-5

👓 OBSERVE:
Jesus had an opportunity to heal someone that had been unwell for a long time. After all, he had come to bring good news to those who were hurting and heal those who were broken. The religious leaders expected Jesus to fulfill the letter of the law and do no work on the Sabbath, but he chose to heal anyway. Why do you think religious leaders would be so upset with Jesus healing someone?​
Picture
✅ APPLY: There is a lot of information available on the benefits of rest and how healing it is for your body to get a good night’s sleep. Rest is important. It can be tempting to give up rest in order to work harder, but rest is necessary and it can bring healing in a way you might not expect.

​How can you set aside time today to rest so that you can heal? Ask God to show you where you need healing. Ask Jesus how you can rest in him, knowing that the love he has for you is enough.

Day 35

God’s desire for you to rest is something God wants FOR you, not FROM you.

📖 READ: Mark 2:23-28
​

👓 OBSERVE:
Sabbath isn’t usually a popular topic of conversation. You probably don’t text your friend saying, “Hey, how’d you Sabbath yesterday?” But the Sabbath was a BIG DEAL to the Jewish people. In fact, they were so hyped up on the Sabbath that they started to make their own rules about it. That’s why in these verses, the Jewish religious leader’s response to Jesus “breaking the Sabbath” law is so, well, savage. Why do you think the Jewish leaders didn't welcome Jesus new ideas?
Picture
✅ APPLY: Following Jesus is not a set of rules. It’s a relationship that isn't based on our behavior or actions, but is rooted in Jesus’ love for us. Sabbath isn’t a rule to follow but an invitation to rest and remember what God has done. Take your own Sabbath for a few minutes.

​Find a quiet place to be still. Set a timer on your phone, close your eyes, take some deep breaths, and focus on God’s love for you. Thank God for that love.

When you know how deeply you are loved, it’s easier to slow down and rest.

📖 READ: John 15:9
​

👓 OBSERVE: You are loved. That’s the truth. In the same way God the Father loves Jesus the Son, that’s how Jesus loves you. When you think about how loved you are by God, how does that change your perspective of yourself? Do you feel like you still need to earn love and approval from others? Is God’s love enough for you?​
✅ APPLY: Jesus tells us that he loves us and reminds us to stay connected to him. You don’t have to work tirelessly to prove yourself, to be the best, or prove you're not a failure. You are loved. Even if failure happens, and it will, Jesus’ love will not fail you. Are you aiming for the perfect grade point average? Are you working hard to get the spot on the A-team in basketball? Is there someone who’s approval and love that you are trying to earn?

​Thank Jesus for his love for you either through a silent prayer, a written prayer, or a prayer you pray out loud. 
Thank God that the approval and love you are fighting for has already been given to you. Ask him to help you stop fighting for that love and to simply receive it. ​

Rest, today, in your connection to God.

​
📖 READ: John 14:4-5

👓OBSERVE: Jesus used a lot of imagery to explain how the Kingdom of God worked, like branches and fruit. If you were walking through a grove of oranges or grapefruits, or a vineyard full of grapes, and you cut off a branch and took it home, hoping you could have your garden full of fruit, it would not work. We’ll save you the time of trying it. Why do you think Jesus would tell his disciples that he’s the vine and they’re the branches?
Picture
✅ APPLY: Jesus is inviting his disciples and followers to stay connected to him — to abide in him. "Abide in Me” is not a marching order to accomplish or a check box to complete. It’s simply a state of existence, a way of being. What might it look like to live life everyday knowing that you are deeply connected to Jesus? You don’t have to work to stay connected. In fact, you need to simply rest to remain connected.

​You want to know how else you can stay connected to Jesus? Talk to him! That’s prayer. Remember in Philippians 4:4-6 it says to tell Jesus what you need and thank him for what he’s done. Do that today. Talk to Jesus. Connect with him.

Today, we can rest knowing that Jesus has sent the Holy Spirit to run alongside us.

📖 READ: John 14:27
​

👓 OBSERVE: Before Jesus went to the cross, he explained to his followers that he was going away. However, he left them with a beautiful promise. Jesus realized that they were about to experience some of the most difficult days of their lives but he promised them peace. That promise was not just for his first followers, it also included you. Think about how that promise affects you today, even though it was a promise given many years ago.
Picture
✅ APPLY: Everyone is looking for peace. Not many people love chaos — unless they’re a toddler in a McDonald’s Play Place. We want peace. How comforting is it to you to know that no matter what you face, Jesus will give you peace in the situation? You don’t have to earn this peace. You can simply receive it because Jesus freely gives it.

​Thank Jesus for giving peace in the midst of chaos. Remember that even in the midst of seeing 
their saviour arrested, beaten, and crucified, Jesus first followers still experienced incredible peace. ​

You might be tempted to run through the valley, but you can actually rest in the valley.

📖 READ: Psalm 23:4-6
​

👓 OBSERVE:
In these verses, God promises to be with us even in our most difficult times.
✅APPLY:
What is a dark valley you have walked through? When have you been in surrounded by people you felt were against you? Imagine what might change if we could see God as our good shepherd in the midst of these moments.
​

Grab a notecard write Psalm 23:4-6 on it. Perhaps you might even make it the background on your phone. Keep this verse near you when find yourself in a dark valley surrounded by people who seem to be against you. In those moments, take this verse out and pray, “Jesus, thank you that your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and that I will live in your presence forever.”
