As educators, we all know what it feels like to be busy. We have lesson plans to prepare, papers to grade, meetings to attend, and students to teach. Having so much on our plates can be overwhelming, and we may feel like there's never enough time in the day. But even amid our busy lives, it's important to find rest.

Rest doesn't always mean taking a break or going on vacation (although those things are important too). Rest can also mean finding peace in the chaos and trusting God's plan for our lives. It's about taking a step back and remembering that we are not in control but that God is.

One way to find rest in the midst of busy days is to start each day with prayer. Taking a few minutes to connect with God before the day's craziness can set the tone for the rest of the day. We must prioritize our time and focus on what truly matters. We may be unable to do everything, but we can do the most important things.

Another way to find rest is to practice gratitude. Instead of focusing on all the things we have to do, we can focus on what we have already accomplished and what we are grateful for. This can help us shift our perspective and find peace in the present moment.

Finally, we can find rest in knowing that God is with us every step of the way. He will never leave us or forsake us, and He has a plan for our lives. We can trust in Him and find rest in His love and grace.

Let us find rest in God, even in the midst of our busy days.
