Rest For Your Body & Soul: February is Heart Health Month

February is Heart Health Month!

Theme: Guard Your Heart, Spirit, Soul, and Body (Proverbs 4:23)

Topic: Rest For Your Body and Soul: Your Heart Health Matters

Scripture: “Come to me all those who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30. Jesus is specifically addressing the rest of our soul. 

*Rest is essential for a healthy heart. Without adequate rest, stress increases and the heart works harder than it should. God designed rest as restoration, not weakness. 

“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work,” John 9:4 

*Physical rest is essential for a healthy heart. When we do not get enough sleep or downtime, stress hormones rise and the heart works harder than it should. Giving yourself permission to rest is a powerful form of stewardship. 

*Spiritual rest is essential for a healthy soul. This is spending quality time with God.

*Inspiration: Rest restores the rhythm of your heart.

*Heart Health Tip: Poor sleep increases the risk of heart disease.

*Declaration: “I give myself permission to rest.” 

*Prayer:
I give myself permission to rest today. Lord, restore my heart and renew my strength physically and spiritually. Amen.
