Isaiah 26:3 says “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” Trust is resting in Him. I love the definition of rest in Hebrews 4:10. It says, “For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.”

Releasing

Everything

Simply

Trusting

Cease from self-effort, as in trying to figure it out, doing things in our own strength, worrying, fretting, or being anxious. Fear is a normal reaction when facing sudden danger. That is how we are created ~ fight, flight, or freeze. 

However, when we remain in anxiety even though there is no danger, our sympathetic remains in high gear creating stress and  disease. We manage out of control stress by keeping our thoughts on Who God is at all times. He is Present, All Powerful, and All Knowing. He is in control of all things.
