"Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while."

A healthy lifestyle encompasses a good balance of work and rest. Ever since human invented electric light, many people have mixed up days and nights and upset this balance (although the necessity of work is an excusable exception.).

In Jesus’ time, surely there is no influence from electric light, yet He still required his disciples to have enough rest. The rest that Jesus meant is not doing nothing, but making room for your spirit to harmonize with your goal in life. This goal is obviously to make your particular lifestyle fit into God’s will.

When our relationship with God is harmonious, our relationship with people who touched our lives will doubtless be more delightful.

If we do not have time daily for longer prayers, we can always say a little prayer in our heart: “Jesus, I trust You”, “Lord, I put everything in Your hands”.
