Day 3 — Trusting Rest
- Scripture: Psalm 127:2 – “It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest… for God gives sleep to the beloved.”
- Reflection: We often think we’re solely responsible for upholding the balance of work or other commitments. We forget that the best systems have shared resources and distribution of effort and responsibility, so that things don’t fail because we need a break.
Rest requires trust—trust that the world will not fall apart without our constant effort. - Practice: Release one unfinished task overnight. Let it wait.
