Genesis 17:1 KJV) He will be there to help us (For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Isaiah 41:13 KJV) and we will experience his peace (Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 KJV) and joy.

However, before we can rest in the Lord, we must first repent from our evil ways; every bad habit that has kept us away from the hand of God.  (Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Isaiah 59:1‭-‬2 KJV). Then we can now come to rest in Him. (“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 KJV)

Prayer: Lord, draw me nearer to thee, help me to rest in You.
