REST

'I can rest in the midst of busyness because:
  • trusting God to be my Saviour sets me free from the pressure to prove myself
  • trusting God to be my Master sets me free from the weight of other people's expectations
  • trusting God to be my Provider sets me free from the fear that things will get out of control
  • trusting God to be my Refuge stes me free from the compulsion to hide behind my busyness
  • trusting God to be my Joy sets me free from the vain pursuit of satisfaction ibn possessions
  • trusting God to be my Hope sets me free from the frantic need to make the most of this life.'
Tim Chester, The Busy Christian's Guide to Busyness, p.151.
