O unsaved reader, if a work of grace has already begun in your heart so that you realize your wretchedness and long for that peace and rest which this poor world is unable to give, fix it firmly in your mind that One only can give you what you seek.

Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.

Go where ye will, your soul shall not sleep sound but in Christ's bosom.

This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo, you know, and that's what I had.

You made us for yourself and our hearts find no peace till they rest in you.

In using all means, seek God alone. In and through every outward thing, look only to the power of His Spirit, and the merits of His Son. Beware you do not get stuck in the work itself; if you do, it is all lost labor. Nothing short of God can satisfy your soul. Therefore, fix on Him in all, through all, and above all...Remember also to use all means as means-as ordained, not for their own sake...

Push back the demands pressing in on you; create a safe space around you, a haven in which you can rest with Me.

I MEET YOU in the stillness of your soul. It is there that I seek to commune with you.

In returning to Me and resting in Me you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength. P

The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me. Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. —PSALM 116:5—7

Take time to be quiet.

You need to have time to really hear God.
