A Rest-Filled Life Is Possible

If you’ve made it through Tired of Being Tired, first—well done. Not just for reading, but for being brave enough to take an honest look at your soul.

By now, we’ve named our exhaustion, challenged our hustle, confronted our inner critic, and accepted the invitation to live with more margin and less guilt. But here’s the truth I want you to carry into whatever comes next:

A rest-filled life isn’t just an idea. It’s possible.

I don’t mean a perfect life. I don’t mean a life where you never feel tired again. I mean a life where your tiredness doesn’t own you. A life where your value isn’t tied to your output. A life where you’re not just doing things for God—but actually being with Him.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I have what I need.” – Psalm 23:1 (CSB)

That verse is simple, but it holds everything. Because rest starts here: believing that we have what we need because we have Him.

I’m still learning this. I still catch myself slipping into old patterns. But more and more, I’m letting God’s grace slow me down. I’m learning to release expectations He never asked me to carry. And I’m learning that freedom isn’t found in finally getting everything done—it’s found in trusting the One who holds it all.

This book may be ending, but this journey isn’t. Keep fighting for margin. Keep listening for the Shepherd’s voice. Keep choosing rest, again and again.

Because you were made for more—and you don’t have to be tired forever.

Reflect:

  • What truth from this journey do you want to carry with you?

  • What rhythms of rest can you hold onto in the next season?

  • Where are you still striving that God may be asking you to surrender?

You were made for more than burnout.
You were made to live led, loved, and at peace in your Father’s care.
