“Our reasons for not resting are often more superficial than we think. Yes, you may be busy, but there are more likely deeper reasons. For many of us, the reason we resist stillness and rest is because that’s when the ghosts and goblins of our fears, anxieties, and insecurities come to the surface. Busyness is our best defense against them.”
John Starke, “I’m Feeling Tired, Worn Out, and in Need of a Break,” in Faithful Endurance, ed. Collin Hansen and Jeff Robinson, Sr. (Wheaton: Crossway, 2019), 99.
