On Day 4...As we wrap up our look at rest, we cannot ignore personal peace comes from who we are in Jesus and that he knows us by name, calls us to be his children, sanctifies us (makes us more like him), and prepares a place for us to be with him for eternity. That is true rest.

On Day 3.. I had a conversation with a student this past year who was struggling and commented to them, "you need a Castle Byers," which we sort of both laughed at because they understood the Stranger Things reference. But this student did not have a physical place in which they could go and retreat.

On Day 2.. Sleep is part of rest. So is waking. Pray now for God to help you explore your sleep patterns along with your waking patterns.

On Day 1... Take a brief moment in your journal or your thoughts, and create or describe your perfect day. Describe or create a day or a moment when all things are as they should be.
