Burnout isn’t holy—and exhaustion isn’t a badge of honor. Today’s devotion is your reminder that rest is a gift from God, not a reward you have to earn.

Do you feel guilty for slowing down, like rest is something you’ll get to “one day”?

You’re not alone. We live in a world that glorifies busy—but Jesus invites us to something better. In Mark 6, even He tells His disciples to step away and rest. If the Son of God made space to recharge, so should we.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• Why rest is a spiritual practice, not a productivity killer
• What Jesus teaches about stepping away
• A practical question to help you say “yes” to rest today

Your soul doesn’t need more hustle—it needs more Him.
