Perhaps you would be free of that envy of your sibling, or friend, or co-worker whose life just seems to always have everything working out for the better.
While you struggle...
Or it could be a day minus the waves of self-loathing that keep crashing against your heart, reminding you of how you have fallen short, especially when you compare yourself to others.
How you struggle...
A day of heart rest for you could be a day when you let your anger at God--for everything that is present or absent from your life--take a holiday. To carry so much anger at God has been exhausting.
Always you struggle...
The envy, the self-loathing, the anger--all very real struggles in a very real life.
A day of heart rest might look like this:
God, you tell me I am fearfully and wonderfully made by You. I don't feel it. I don't see it. And I think you could make it so much easier. But I want a day of heart rest. I choose rest but I need You to help me stay in that rest position. And while I'm resting, could You show me a new view of my circumstances, that tomorrow might hold more hope?Any prison of struggle is a place that needs an exit designed by God. He might be waiting for you to ask.
