When You Need Rest

"I said to myself, 'Relax and rest. God has showered you with blessings.'" - Psalm 116:7

Even the most energetic women will, from time to time, find themselves running on empty. You will too. The inevitable demands of daily life can drain you of your strength and rob you of the joy that can and should be yours. When you're feeling tired, discouraged, or worse, pay attention -- it's time to get some rest.

Ovid offered this advice: "Take a rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop." Whether vou're a farmer or a city slicker, that's a tip worth taking.

Are your physical or spiritual batteries running low? Is your energy on the wane? Are your emotions frayed? If so, it's time to turn your thoughts and your prayers to God. And when you're finished, it's probably time to turn off the lights and go to bed!

Taking care of yourself physically really helps emotionally. People who get a lot of sleep, who do the things that relieve stress, can withstand a lot of stress. - Laura Bush
