5 YouVersion Bible App Devotionals about Rest
You need rest. You wouldn’t be reading these words if you didn’t. It’s okay. We all do. It’s how God made us. From the very beginning, God gave us the perfect example of how to work and rest. And then He wrote it down for us, because He knew we would forget.
But, sometimes we still forget and need reminding. So, I put together five YouVersion Bible App Devotionals about Rest to help you remember what the Bible teaches about rest and how you can make resting in Him a part of your daily life.

In this plan, we are called to the intentional work of self-examination, helping us to move toward a purposeful and sustainable life with Jesus.
4. Finding Rest in a Busy World
Commitment: 9 Days
Author(s): Susan Narjala
Description: There’s no getting around the fact that we live in an always-spinning world. We yearn for quietness in our souls – but, often, that deep rest seems out of our reach. Or is it? In the next few days, let’s spend a few minutes peeking into the home of Mary and Martha in Bethany. Two sisters who loved God – but demonstrated that love in completely different ways. From the little incident in Luke where Jesus visits the two sisters, as well as other Scripture portions, let’s learn to truly find rest in Him alone.
5. The Rest of Your Life

Description: Do you just need a really good rest? When it comes to the subject of rest , it seems that we may have been missing the point. Life is frantic, but it’s not God who is encouraging us to get busy. His desire is to lead us into a life that is productive, fruitful, restful. Yet, so often we fight against Him. This devotional plan teaches that rest is ESSENTIAL to your success in life, and that learning to rest can protect, maintain and lengthen whatever God has called you to do!
