Whispers of Rest

Whispers of Rest is probably the best devotional book that I have ever read. Bonnie Gray really knows the Lord and you can tell in her writing. This book got me to take the time and stop and rest. I journaled through the prompts she gives in the book. I really feel that I have gotten closer to the Lord through taking my time and my entries in this book. The prayers in the book are amazing and just really hit me right where I was at. I’m sure a lot of people felt that way while reading this book as well. I could go on and on forever but you’ll just have to trust me. I highly recommend this and it gets 5***** from me.

Thoughts:

Author Bonnie Gray takes a hard look inside our must get it all done motivations, as one who experiences this dash that we all put ourselves through. To gain the rest that is already ours, we must take His hand, lean into Him, and recharge.

I am touched immensely by this devotional, as I had to face some difficult facts.

In order to give of ourselves to others, we must take care of ourselves, and it’s not about getting everything done or about twisting ourselves into a pretzel shape to accommodate everything in need of our attention. We must rest. It is not wrong to put something down, to set boundaries, and to say no.

In fact, sometimes, it is what He wants us to do to draw closer to Him and rest in His embrace. It is about making time for a relationship with Jesus. Easily, we receive peace, shelter, and strength, but we do this by taking His hand and letting Him lead rather than us charting our own path.

Through this devotional, we start with one word, one action, and one goal. Beloved. Stop. Rest.

From seeing Him through your daily lens to journalizing as little or as much as you need, you set down your own story. Scripture carries you through each challenge with prayer prompts, God Stories, and His peace.

I highly recommend the soul searching, mending, and healing of WHISPERS OF REST: 40 Days of God’s Love to Revitalize Your Soul by Bonnie Gray!
