Rest and Build

Life was designed by God to be remarkable - full and meaningful. Too often, we are afraid to rest because we think God can't make things happen without us. We end up burning the candle at both ends, feeling worn out, overwhelmed and on the brink of burnout. "Rest and Build: A 31-Day Journey to Restore Your Soul and Design a Life that Matters" will encourage you to slow down, restore and build your best life from a place of active rest--spiritually, physically and emotionally.

Cynthia White shares candidly about her challenges and lessons learned throughout life in her journey to find her "garden of Eden," a place of rest and renewal that too often felt elusive, in our fast-paced world. Until one day she hit a wall and cried out to God desperate to learn how to build her life of impact from a place of rest.

With transparent, relatable life stories, and practical tips this devotional desires to inspire other women to stop the hustle and grind by learning to align with God's rest. From God's Word, invite them to take the journey of rest deliberately and begin to live life purposefully by design rather than default, with grace and ease.

This devotional will invite you to experience grace and ease through:

• Quotes-Inspirational thoughts to add wisdom and motivation to your day
• Guided Prayer Prompts: Deepen your intimacy conversations with God as you "spill the tea" about your life by simply talking to Him.
• Reflection questions to help you R.E.S.T. (Release Every Situation Totally).
• Daily Challenges: Move you towards action with practical suggestions
• Daily Self-Care Tasks: To help you destress your life and nurture yourself, holistically.

Get ready to spend the next 31 days learning to take back your life, understand what it means to REST, and build and design a legacy that matters.

"Not your typical devotional! I quickly realized that I was missing out on opportunities to rest in God and to allow Him to comfort me through life challenges. The author gives practical options to activate rest, to make rest happen. Guaranteed to impact the way women view rest."

"Cynthia has created a daily devotional that is practical, challenging, and encouraging. She takes us on a 31-day journey toward a remarkable life while also calling us to value the journey itself. This devotional recognizes that we live in an era of endless toil that robs us of the kind of rest that leads to renewal and rejuvenation. Cynthia's self-disclosure and theological exposition gently invite us to step out of unnecessary busyness and into a way of living that honors our body, mind, and soul. Simply stated, this devotion calls us back to practicing the foundational cyclical rhythm of work, rest, and enjoyment."
