Psalm 23:2a Divine Nap Time

Does rest come easily to you or do you find it difficult to make yourself sit still? These days, it certainly seems like disciplining ourselves to rest is a struggle. Even when the rare opportunity for rest is presented, many of us fight it, tooth and nail. We dismiss it out of fear that if we use our time to rest, we won’t have time to get other important things done, which will inevitably result in some disaster. We dismiss it because resting makes us feel uncomfortable, or like we must be lazy, selfish, or slacking on our responsibilities. We don’t want to rest because it can sometimes feel like weakness.
