The Curse of the Restless Soul Ecclesiastes 2:22-23 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labour under the sun? All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless. Question Are you often wound up on the inside and you find it difficult to calm down in your soul? Where do we find rest for our souls?

The Curse of the Restless Soul Matthew 11:28-29 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened 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. Our souls find rest in God alone Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Psalm 62:1 "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you." Augustine - The Confessions (A.D. 397)

For you, L ORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before the L ORD in the land of the living. How do we find rest in God? Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.
