Most of us are perpetually tired physically, mentally, and emotionally. And even our rest is restless. When we are off, we are still on—on a screen, on our phones being pushed and pulled to scroll down or watch one more episode, and on our way to next event. If you are like me, you long for rest for your body and mind, but Christ offers something better—rest for our souls. Here’s how to practice the holy habit of rest.
Outline:
- Remember the Sabbath
- Resist Your Screen
- Review Your Stuff
- Rest Your Soul

- Americans check their phone an average of 96 times a day.
- Why storage units are a $38 billion dollar industry in the U.S.
