—Philippians 4:10-14

A few months ago I was feeling overwhelmed. I felt that I desperately needed a vacation, a time to simply relax. I happened to attend a worship meeting that night and a lady offered to pray for me. As she was praying for me, she quoted a verse that has forever changed my life. It ends with “that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19). The truth hit home: we can physically rest all we want and come out exhausted because true rest comes from the presence of the Lord.
