Episode 8: When God Invites Us to Rest

What if rest isn’t something we have to earn, but an invitation from God?

In this episode of the Strategies to Cope Podcast, we’re talking about the difference between working hard and living in anxious toil. Psalm 127:2 reminds us that we don’t have to exhaust ourselves trying to hold everything together. While we sleep, God is still working.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, constantly thinking about what needs to be done, or struggling with guilt whenever you slow down, this episode is a reminder that you are not God’s employee, you are His beloved. You don’t have to carry the whole world on your shoulders.

We’ll talk about why rest can actually be an act of faith, how to release the things we can’t control, and how to trust God when our minds want to keep striving.

Plus, this week’s Stress Less Skill is the Open Hands Prayer…a simple practice for physically and spiritually releasing our burdens to God.

Take a deep breath. Open your hands. Let God be God.

You are allowed to rest.

And remember… suffering sucks, but God is so good. ❤️
