Burned Out? Trusting God with Your To-Do List

CCEF Minibooks

by Winston T. Smith

"Originally published in 2006 as 'Rest'."

Often, in our busy world, our lives feel like one long ""to-do"" list. It's easy to get so busy that we don't even notice how exhausted and anxious we are. Do you find yourself saying yes to activities you don't have time for? Have you ever said, ""If I don't do it, who will?"" An overloaded schedule and an inability to rest are signs of approaching ""burnout.""Instead of giving you organizational tips (and thus more to do!), Winston T. Smith helps you to look at what drives your busyness and points you to the rest and peace that comes from a deeper trust in God.

[Hannah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This booklet is about rest and the Sabbath. Great reminders on the purpose of rest, and how it points to God being our sovereign deliverer. To rest is to exercise our faith in Him, and to serve Him, not ourselves.

Super super short booklet about ceasing sinful striving and beginning resting in God.
