Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yolk upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For my yolk is easy and my burden is light.
MATTHEW 11:28-30 NIV
"We live in a world that temps us to stay up late - very late. But too much late-night TV, combined with too little sleep, is a prescription for exhaustion" p78
"Jesus promised us that when we come to Him, He will give us rest- but we too, must do our part. We must take the necessary steps to insure that we have sufficient rest and that we take care of our bodies in other ways, too." p78
"...physical health is a choice: it is the result of hundreds of small decisions that we make every day of our lives. If we make decisions that promote good health, our bodies respond. But if we fall into bad habits and undisciplined lifestyles, we suffer tragic consequences." p79
"Are your physical and spiritual batteries running low?...Are your emotions frayed? If so, it's time to turn your thoughts and your prayers to God's Son. And when you're finished, it's probably time to turn off the lights and go to bed!" p79
"Taking care of yourself physically really helps emotionally. People who get a lot of sleep, and who do the things that relieve stress, can withstand more stress" - LAURA BUSH p79
"Satan does some of his worst work on exhausted Christian when nerves are frayed and their minds are faint." -VANCE HAVNER p79
