Release your striving.
I have taught you in the secret place, and you have learned the ways of my Spirit. I remind you this day: do not strive but rest your heart in the quietness, and I will do what you cannot. Anxiety and striving are the enemies of your peace. When I give you a task, I give you the grace to accomplish it. I never lead you into failure or give you a mission only to make you fall. I will strengthen you in the quiet place and bring my transcendent presence to calm your soul. When you know me, you will no longer strive to be better or strive to be loved. When you experience my endless compassion, you will learn to trust my love for you. Striving will leave you feeling empty and depleted. But when you release yourself by faith into my care, I will fill you with my peace and give you rest. Faith rests in hope. So, my child, this is the day of Sabbath joy, when you will enter into the realm of my kingdom. Know that I will never fail you or disappoint you. Rest in that certainty.
Whispers written by Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez
Hebrews 4:3 The Passion Translation
For those of us who believe, faith activates the promise and we experience the realm of confident rest!
