How to Rest in Stress

When life feels like a storm you can't escape, rest may seem impossible. But even in the middle of chaos, God invites you to "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10, NIV).

Stress whispers lies that you must fix everything, handle it all, and never slow down. But God offers something better—His peace that "transcends all understanding" (Philippians 4:7, NIV). True rest isn't found in escaping the stress, but in leaning into the arms of the One who holds you through it.

Jesus modeled this beautifully. When the waves crashed against the boat, and His disciples panicked, He slept (Mark 4:38). Why? Because He trusted the Father. You can, too.

Pause. Breathe. Pray. Say His name—Jesus. In doing so, you're choosing rest in the storm, not after it.

Let go of what you can't control. Surrender your fear. Let God be your refuge.
