Stops & Steps 1091 05X2009

Our renewal

It is normal for the body and mind to get tired. We all get tired, and we all need rest to renew our strength. We also need spiritual rest and renewal. When we feel defeated, discouraged, and spiritually worn out, God has promised to take care of us, give us rest, and renew our strength.

Psalm 23 assures us that the Lord is our shepherd. As we spend time in prayer and studying the Bible, we allow God to care for us. In God's care, we find rest and the strength to face whatever life brings. We are renewed.

Psalm 23 : 2
[The Lord] lets me rest in fields of green grass and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water.
