Do you sometimes feel like your life is in constant turmoil and you are just spinning? What would you give to just find refreshment and rest?

I live in the Wheatbelt. For just a few months a year the fields are green, and the river is full. I feel refreshed and alive!

In Psalm 23, the Shepherd’s psalm, we read that the shepherd (God), leads the sheep (us) to places of refreshment and nourishment. In times of challenge and dryness, I have learnt to return to the leading of God to find what I need to get through. I rest in trusting he is in control. Sometimes that’s all I can do – rest and trust. When I find that place of rest; oh what peace!

The reassuring thing about God’s rest and guiding, is that it’s not only for a few months of the year – it’s always available when we follow him.

Question
What could you hand over to God that would help you find rest?

Prayer
Lord, I’m spinning and tumbling. I need You to bring me back to a place of rest, beside the still waters.
