RESTING
IN HIM! MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU, and I will give you rest.
Sometimes when you are quite weary, all you can think about is finding
rest. As a result, your awareness of My Presence grows dim. I assure
you, though, that even when your attention falters, Mine remains
steadfast. Rejoice that the One who always takes care of you has an
infinite attention span!
Even the most devoted parents cannot be constantly attentive to their children. They have to sleep some of the time. Also, they can be distracted by other demands on their attention. Many deeply loved children have drowned when their devoted parents took their eyes off them ever so briefly. Only I have the capability of watching over My beloved children continually - without the least interruption.
Instead of worrying about where and when you will find rest, remember that I have promised to provide it for you. Worrying wastes vast quantities of energy - the very thing you need most to help you reach a resting place. If you were driving a car with little gas in the tank and the nearest service station was far away, you would drive carefully and steadily - so as to minimize gas consumption.
Similarly, when you are low on energy you need to minimize consumption of this precious commodity. Go gently and steadily through your day, looking to Me for help. Rest in the knowledge that My watch-care over you is perfect. Thus, you make the most of your limited energy. Whenever you are struggling with weariness come to Me, and I will give you rest.
