How do you find Rest in Christ?
Abbey Nielson, Layton 37th Ward
As a mother of three young children, with one more on the way, rest can feel elusive. I am easily overwhelmed and overstimulated, and I often long for my version of rest—a break from the constant demands of motherhood.
But, as in so many other areas of life, I am learning that the Lord’s version is better than mine. His rest does not always look like a break from the work; instead, it looks like knowing that I am yoked with my Savior. When I choose to walk with Him, the burden is no longer mine to carry alone.
The Guide to the Scriptures defines rest as “the enjoyment of peace and freedom from worry and turmoil.” To me, this is faith and hope in action. We know that all things are in the Lord’s hands and that “all things shall work together for our good” (D&C 90:24).
