Where do you find rest?

One of my idols is rest. Sleeping in. Snuggling under the covers. Napping.

As a new mom of two kids 2 year old and under, I can be desperate for rest. I can be anxious about finding it.

I forget that God is my perfect provider.

Even if I only get two straight hours of sleep in a night, God can ensure that I get the rest I need to face a new day. I don't need to worry about it. I can trust him for it.

Sometimes I feel like I'm resting by zoning out on Facebook or watching TV. On reflection, I find I usually feel just as drained afterwards. Whereas doing something productive, spending time with God, or actually sleeping are more restful to me -- I feel more refreshed afterwards.

What do you count as rest that is actually draining to you? What activities are truly restful to you? Are you able to trust God for the rest you need?

God, I confess I fail to trust you to provide me with the rest (I think) I need. Please forgive me and help me to find my rest in you.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
 Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.
