There is a time and a purpose under Heaven for all things: a time to work, a time to rest. If you will rest, both physically and in spirit, I will give you the freshness that you need, to do that which you must do. For one cannot work and work and work and never end. You must stop and rest.

If you will take time away from your work and rest physically and in spirit, you will receive clarity of mind and heart and spirit. You will receive clarity in your thinking, renewal of your spirit, renewal of your body, renewal of your outlook. You will look upon your work in a new light and see that the things that you considered so heavy are no longer heavy, because you have renewed strength.

It is not enough to rest only in spirit--you must also rest your body. Your body houses your spirit, and when the body is weary and weak and under constant strain and stress, your spirit cannot do all that it should. For together they are one, and both must rest. The body must rest in sleep and through recreation. And the spirit must rest in prayer and by getting filled with My Word. With these two together you shall have all the rest that you need, that you may be strengthened and refreshed in Me.
