Restless

As Christmas is approaching, it's so easy to get caught up in the busyness of buying presents, seeing family/friends, and working. We need to make rest a priority. In our culture, it seems better to keep busy and productive, but we need to stop, be quiet, and listen to God's voice. All I need is the Bible, a journal, and chai tea. :)

"I am restless till I rest in You" Jesus.

When I think of resting, I think of this song by Audrey Assad "Restless":

You dwell in the songs that we are singing
Rising to the Heavens
Rising to Your heart
Our praises filling up the spaces
In between our frailty and everything You are
You are the keeper of my heart

And I'm restless
I’m restless
'Til I rest in You
(Oh God I wanna rest in You)

Oh speak now for my soul is listening
Say that You have saved me
Whisper in the dark
'Cause I know You’re more than my salvation

Without You I am hopeless
Tell me who You are
You are the keeper of my heart

Still my heart
Hold me close
Let me hear a still small voice
Let it grow
Let it rise
Into a shout
Into a cry

I am restless until I rest in You
