How does one get in a state of unrest? Being constantly geared-up, worried, anxious, and fearful, thinking the worst, and not allowing your mind to just rest. As well as not eating properly, not getting enough exercise and not spending time with God.
To take a rest in your mind would mean to stop all thoughts that would pose a threat to your state of peace. If you’re constantly thinking about worrisome thoughts your body will react to the stress. If you think negative thoughts and stressful thoughts your body will begin to react.
It is important to balance your system back with prayer, spending time with God, eating right, exercising, letting go and letting God, and giving your mind a rest from anxious, worrisome and fearful thoughts. If your mind is in a continually state of unrest you will eventually feel tired and worn-out and generally not feel well (malaise). Your body will feel tense, you may have sore muscles, headaches, and possible TMJ.
Get to the “roots” of why you are in a chronic state of unrest.
In other words, what are the underlying causes of your stress? What keeps you up at night? It is not God’s will for you to be under stress and unbalance. You might have to slip away from the hectic lifestyle you live or the busyness you are under and come into the presence of Jesus who can unmask why you in a state of unrest.
Step away from the cares of this world long enough to hear God and how He wants you to handle your situations. Go to a quiet place and sit before the Lord. Get quiet and balance your emotions. There is a word God will breathe upon you and enlighten you with.
Take care of your body as well, begin to eat balanced nutritious meals as well as light exercising. Walking is a great way to relieve stress and unrest. Take a multi-vitamin as well as a good B-vitamin. This is a holistic approach to your unrest but you have to take care of not only your body but your mind and spirit as well.
Balance every area of your life. All of your parts are interconnected, your mind, your body and your spirit. If one area is out of balance you will feel it in the other areas as well.
Have you ever noticed when you are physically sick you’re not as spiritually strong? But have you noticed when you are physically, mentally and spiritually strong how good you feel? Always be guarded and aware when one or two areas are out of balance. Realign the ones that need to be rebalanced.
Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, He said to them:
“Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest. Mark 6:31
What suggestions can you give to maintain balance and rest in your life?
Amazing insight! Thank you!
I agree. Leaving all in the hands of God brings New things happening. While in solitude with the Lord others too even the neighbors around were seeing what they should let go of. Amazing how God works. If they are able to take it, It is not words, but action, and everyone understands what should be done. I believe they will experience the same that I am facing – Love, Peace, Happiness. Almighty Father, I thank You Yeshua for the Love Concern and above all the Grace You have bestowed upon me, my family and even our neighbors – all because of Yehoshua’a teachings. Thank you, Pastor Benny for guidance to know myself through the various ways on internet. Thank you.
