True Woman Blog: The Spiritual Side of Sleep
When we face difficult circumstances, when we feel like the whole world is against us, or when we've lost the desire to go on, sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is get some sleep.

Do You Take a Regular Sabbath? - The Gospel.com Blog
On the seventh day of the Creation story, God took a sabbath and rested from His work. Later, keeping a sabbath was included in the ten commandments. Rest is clearly an important activity, but I’d argue that in the Western world we don’t do a great job of emphasizing how important it really is. What about you though? Do you take a regular sabbath?

"Come to me" in the Bible: Matthew 11:28
This is Jesus' famous invitation to find true rest from life's struggles in him. Dedication to Christ doesn't mean you'll be burdened with new worries. On the contrary, service to Christ means freedom from guilt and sin.

Shutdown Mode - #2843
Before you go to sleep, search through your heart for any garbage that has accumulated - anger, unforgiveness, lust, coveting, comparing, gossip, negative attitudes, sinful treatment of people. Don't shut down until you've cleaned out the junk of the day - by bringing it to Jesus in repentance - right there on your bed.

Peaceful - a Christian perspective
One of the great human pursuits is true peace: the freedom to relax without being weighed down by fears and concerns. This is the peace that God promises those who follow Him.

Out Of Service - #5757
It may be that you've worked hard for the Lord over the years and you've done many of the jobs there are to do and you're tired. But now you're saying, "I served my time." The truth is we don't have enough time to serve the Lord who gave everything for us. We've only got maybe 70 or 80 years! That's not near enough! There's too much to do. There are too few to do it. Please don't hang out an "Out Of Service" sign!

Rest in the Lord in the Bible - a Christian perspective
God tells Moses in this verse that his very Prescense will go with him and the Israelites. They will rest in the Lord because He is going with them.

"Relax" in the Bible: Psalm 116:7
We all need rest and relaxation from time to time. The psalmist in Psalm 116 tells his soul to relax because the LORD has been good to it.

Rest in the Bible: Matthew 11:28
Many religions offer salvation to their followers, but at a price: rigorous rules, laws, moral guilt. By contrast, Jesus' invitation could not be simpler or more comforting: he calls the weary and the broken to come to him and find rest.
