- God created us to need rest. Even though we’re designed for it, we don’t always want to. With so much demanding our attention, it can even feel impossible. How can we make the most of slowing down and live intentionally? Let’s find out.
ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
In new seasons, we often focus on what we should do more of. But sometimes, we just need to simplify. In our series, Habits of a Healthy Heart, we'll take a deep breath, make space for God, and allow Him to work in our lives.

What’s one step you can take to create more space for God in your day-to-day routine?
I read the Word more. Jesus is in fact coming soon.
Amen
Release my ambition for accomplishments daily by involving King Jesus in places I lack so I might give a good account for the things in life he gave me to steward when God calls me into eternity.
Lord, I lift up @LifeofReward30. You know them and see what they are going through. God, I ask that you would be with them. Cover them in your grace and love. I pray that you would give them strength and courage. Lord, let those around them speak truth and light into their life. Continue to be with them during this time. In Your name, amen.

Take time even if its 5minutes reading bible verse to help?
I lost my wife Dec 26th, 2023 to stage 4 breast cancer. My mine is all over the place. I cant control it and it tiers me so.

@tonygasperson4952 ... Sorry for your loss. The best words of healing I received after loosing my husband was ... “ you haven’t lost him, he just went before you“.
Use this precious beautiful glorious time to discover who you are, & most likely in spirit your wife is with you now.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve .
Grief is often been described as Miss Place𝒹 ℒℴ𝓋ℯ .... ℒℴ𝓋ℯ 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒽𝒶𝓈 𝓃ℴ 𝓌𝒽ℯ𝓇ℯ 𝓉ℴ 𝑔ℴ．
Praying for you Tony
Praying for you Tony!
I'm sorry to hear that may the Lord be your strength
My mother is now in stage 4 cancer, please include her in your prayers. I'm crying right now as I type this. But I am hopeful that Lord will heal her. God bless us all!
Father, heal and comfort their mother in her time of illness. Surround her with your love and strength as she faces the challenges of cancer. Grant her courage, peace, and the resilience to overcome. May your healing touch be upon her, bringing restoration and hope. We trust in your mercy and ask for your guidance for the medical team caring for her. In Jesus' name amen!
-Kat
Praying for you. Lord thank you for watching over their mother and bringing her peace, and covering her in your armor Lord. Help them in these tough times Lord, and bring everyone in the family peace. Grant her courage Lord, and keep her safe. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Paracelsus clinic-Biological Medicine, it builds up the body so the body can heal itself
It's ❤❤been 2 months since😢you wrote. Dear sister in Jesus, He is faithful and i know your beloved mother is healed, either here on earth or in heaven. If you're missing her, you will see her again. ❤❤
I will pray for your mother 🙏🏻
Praise God. For the first time in my life since being saved I am being changed. I’ve made small adjustments in how I live and act. Supernatural things are taking place in me that are correcting and changing me. People barely recognize me now. It’s like who is that guy they think!
I know I’ll never be perfect but I’m being perfected daily. I truly thank God for Life church. It’s an ark for me in my journey through a stormy life with high waves that desire to destroy me.
This is an amazing testimony! We’re rooting for you Edward! 🙌🙏
Thank you God for putting this person in my path I am learning a lot I am 20 years old and I want to continue growing with God from Chile blessings❤️🩹🙏🌅
@matiasfriz777 May God continue to bless you on your amazing journey.
💓
Hello from USA. That’s great to hear! Jesus is the way
"You can't pour out without filling up!"
AMEN !
My mind constantly circles, I have bi polar, PTSD and insomnia. Sometimes it stirs me to catastrosize, worse and worse each circle, leading me into full blown depression and anxiety....I just want to feel level and happy.
I also lost my husband and suffered a complete nervous breakdown and mid life crisis.
Lord, I lift up @jenniferneish249. I thank you for the courage to reach out to someone to talk about their struggles. God, I ask for comfort and strength. I pray that those around them will speak life and truth into them and remind them they is not alone. I ask that you continue to walk with them at this time, giving them the peace and love that comes from you. In your name, Amen

Just put yourself in prayers especially when you are ha ing the panic attacks just calm them down by the word jesus and it will all go away sooner you will find yourself healing from anxiety and depression..i was there and this worked magic for me.God heals
Trust me, if you keep your mind set on God all day long, it will heal. All these fancy terms such as bipolar, PTSD etc. didn’t exist earlier. These new terms are making people crazy by making people believe that they are sick. Stop trusting and declaring these so called ailments to yourself. These ailments are simply the result of lack of belief in God. Just keep praising God in your heart and keep whispering to yourself the most powerful word Hallelujah all the time, you will see a great transformation in you within days. We have Jehovah Jireh who healeth thee.
Lately these last few days my mind doesn't stop, not sleeping and anxious for no reason. He's surely speaking to me this morning.
Look towards God for that help! 1 Peter 5:7 !
If he is talking to you say yes I am here and I want to believe in him
I understand where you’re coming from. I battle anxiety all the time and I’m not sure why. I know I’m blessed but for some reason my mind never rests. Praying that we find peace 🙏🏻
I pray for you that God will wrap you in His stillness and love. On the darkest of nights, God will remind you of His presence. From now, begin to live in peace. In Jesus name, Amen
-Adekemi
I commit to spending at least 10 minutes with God Intentionally each day!
These last couple of months have been really hard on my mental health. I've experienced anxiety and depression at an exhausting level. My mind won't stop thinking about what comes next and as the pastor said, i can't listen to what's going on in the moment. I pray to God for stillness in my mind. To know that He is with me and that I can withdraw peacefully to hear Him. Thank you for this message. 🙏🏼 God bless you all
As difficult as it is for me to be still i am committing to slowing down to connect with my Father in Heaven.
Today was day 100 in a row of committing myself to mornings in the Bible app, it does make a difference with calming my spirit. More to grow but by God’s grace moving that way
🙏❤️
proud of you man i’m working on finally starting a routine of reading it myself
This is so good to know. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations 👏🎉
Waiting on God can be a challenge, but no matter what, we can trust He’s always at work. If you’re looking for encouragement or wisdom on how you can navigate the coming days with faith and patience, this is a great place to start: finds.life.church/tag/trust/

Excellent work. Thanks for sharing this.
😊🤍
I need the spirit of God to take over in my life.
My mind like opening several books and reading each chapter. At work, more thinking about practice. At practice, I was thinking about the gym preparation. At church, I was thinking about the message with my weekly thinking.
Jesus is always enough, and try not to stress things you cant control you see when it comes from the living God no matter what you do you and no one can stop it and if sin or people can stop it than it’s not from God period. When it comes from God all you need is commitment and faith by works and if that doesn’t work it was never from God 🎤
Absolutely 💯
Currently sobbing listening to this. It’s so relatable and I will give myself to god and find that solitude! I can do this and god is here for me!
Amen! God is with you and for you. ❤️🙏❤️
Laura
Yes you can!
I am committing to slow down ❤❤❤
I'm surrendering my life to Jesus

Thank you Jesus for this message
♥️
Appreciated this message so much! Thank you❣️
I’m very sick and i will try to slow down and direct my negative fearful thoughts to God and his goodness.
Oh @gretchstars, my heart goes out to you. It's not always easy to dissolve those negative thoughts is it? Lord Jesus, thank you that you understand this child's heart. She's sick, she's fearful. I'm sure she is discouraged. Please surround her with a very real sense of your love and presence. As she calls to mind your goodness in the past and present, just as the Psalmist did, please comfort her heart and mind. Amen.

Awesome message!! God is full of Mercy and Grace!! Once we confess and repent, the Blood of Christ cleanses us from guilt. Don’t believe the accuser- he will continue to keep that sin over you!! God’s Truth is that once we repent He tosses that sin as far as the east is from the west!! It’s tossed and God remembers it no more!
Amen!
Hallelujah! ✝️
I'm surrendering my life to him amen

OK, hit me with it, quiet my mind, and trying to focus is nearly impossible.
Reading the Bible in Chronological order, has been the best thing for me, everything seems to make more sense.
I am now reading the whole Bible for the second time! I love every minute in His presence!!

God bless you Sir

I so understand your situation. May God bless you!

I have struggled for years. I have conformed myself to whatever the world wanted me to be. I was in a bad place and I am trying to get to a place without all the trauma. I need God more than ever and I am trying to get a time and place for me to really be with God. Please pray for me and that I can really start to depend on God and not myself.
God, we lift up @MAByrd to You. We pray that they will experience Your presence in a new way today. Help set their heart upon You and Your Word! May You guide their path towards You, Lord, while deepening their relationship with You. Fill their mind with Your thoughts and ways, and provide community that strengthens their resolve towards You. Renew their mind and fill them with the Holy Spirit for wisdom and discernment to grant understanding of Your nature and character. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏

God bless u for this message!! God brought light from it to me!! I’m just like u, always going going going giving giving giving and I can’t sit still!! I am afraid of being alone with myself and fear of not being able to do it all!! Thx u for saying God loves us even when we don’t perform!! That was a God ah ha moment!! Thx u!! God bless!!
A word for me 🙏 at this time!
I commit to slowing down
I'm feeling really guilty for something I did. The anxiety and depression is crippling me. I've recently gotten closer to God and these videos help
@desijiron6969 Know you are loved, and forgive yourself. God knew we needed him. It is how he created us, and he still forgives us of ALL sin! Your heart seeks him, and we are glad the videos help.-Team LC Ronnie
Please help me pray. Overwhelming sadness but trying to daily go on with work with surmounting stress, broken marriage, single-parenting, social judgements and all that.
Amen Father god heal me I need you in my life 🙏🏽❤️
Hallelujah Amen❤
Amen. A month and a half ago I have been getting up more earlier and committing my day soul and time to the Lord. But I never knew how sacred it’s supposed to be.
Also this message really connects with me the past 2 months I’ve just been running and running and running around God stuff just slowing down and just allowing him to work. Especially since I’m going through a hard time along with My bf’s incarceration which Prayers would be really appreciated but I’ve been worried about the future instead of just slowing down and allowing God to have control and work on our behalf’s
Through Jesus, You have extended grace to us. By grace, we have been saved. Day by day, help @calledbygrace2 to comprehend Your grace more and more in their life. Give an increase of grace this day so that they can respond to Your love by good deeds. Your love is amazing, thank You, O my Father. Amen.

God will control your destiny and work on your behalf. In Jesus Almighty name 💓
i made the unfortunate mistake of ministering and not only not seeking quiet time with God for replenishment, but was also EXPECTING it from those i was reaching out too. folks, it is dangerous. it became life threatening
I surrender Heavenly Father
