What is your favourite way to rest and unwind?
Is the Bible teaching us how to practice self-care?
In this fast-paced world, finding rest and having boundaries seems almost unattainable, however as Christians we know that true rest can be experienced on a day-to-day basis, in the midst of work and other responsibilities by prioritising our relationship with God.
Although the word 'self-care' per se does not come up in the Bible, it's enough to look at the example set by Jesus to seek God's presence, in solitude and silence, with prayer and even fasting.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
(Matthew 11:28-30)
