Resting is Believing & Believing is Resting

• If you are having trouble

, you are not resting.
• If you are having trouble , then you are not believing.

If you want to increase your belief and faith in God, take a day to rest. Genesis 2:2

Q. Do you have a set time of the week to rest? If you do, share what that looks like. If you don’t, strategize what that could possibly look like. When would it be? What would you do to rest?

Resting shows that you

you’re a Daughter or Son – NOT a .

If you can’t stop working, striving, thinking, or scheming how to fix or change a problem – you are a slave. Exodus 16:27

Q. What area of your life is your greatest struggle to come into rest?
