Rest Is Necessary

October 17, 2026

Mark 6:31

What was supposed to be a quick nap yesterday turned into 9 hours and 54 minutes of sleep! 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

And here’s what hit me this morning:

If you don’t give your body the rest it needs, your body will snatch the rest it requires!

We get so busy doing, giving, serving, working, and showing up that we sometimes forget we’re human.

But rest isn’t laziness.

Rest isn’t weakness.

And rest isn’t something we should feel guilty about needing.

REST IS NECESSARY!

Even Jesus encouraged His disciples to step away and rest.

So stop glorifying exhaustion. Pay attention to what your body is telling you, and give yourself permission to pause.

Because the truth is, you can’t keep pouring from a place of depletion and expect to remain whole.

Mark 6:31 - Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while.
