Four Ways to Find Rest: What to Do When You’re Always Tired

[@LisaTaylor-x4l]

😢I’m so TIRED Chrystal!! Thank you!!

[@bloominglily]

The reset and the importance of sleep and honouring Sabbath

[@jasfaith25]

#RichWord So needed this spiritual guidance as I am in a season of stewardship (Time, health, finances, etc.). I see the Lord positioning me for what he is calling me to do next, but there’s a “Clearing out” that is necessary in preparation. I do agree that the Lord will communicate to our bodies (i.e., Unwanted stress/anxiety, high blood pressure, unhealthy eating habits, etc.) when we are running on empty, and it’s not only an opportunity for us to refuel, but you refuel God’s way.

[@Chara12]

Solitude really stands out for me. I feel like I’m always living for others. Caring so much for their wellbeing and I’m exhausted. I was praying to God in my heart that I need to live with myself in mind too. Then I found this video. God is good

[@honeyslade9657]

Wow yall..this is why I say don't get caught up in that 1 person you listen to always..sometimes God will say..STOP! IVE CHOSEN THIS PERSON FOR YOU RO LISTEN TO TODAY! I got alot out of listening to this show! Shared it already!!❤

[@Prayzable]

"Solitude allows you to become good friends with you"❤

[@snbrooks3707]

Silence is what I choose and I'll choose it more often. I forgot I used to do this regularly. Monday I logged into my work computer, read 1 email and decided I couldn't do it. I left a message for my team, logged off, went back to sleep. I spent the day doing nothing, no TV, not talking. Someone knocked on my door -I didn't answer, I didn't even check to see who it was. I wasn't expecting anyone. Best day in a long time, woke up for Tuesday a little clearer in mind. I just have to figure out how to incorporate it weekly.

"Anxiety is your body chemistry trying to tell you something youve ignored, youve justified, or you've left alone."

[@ChrystalHurst]

Whooo! Why did this hit me like I didn't even say it myself. Goodness. Thanks for pulling this back to my attention!

[@princessk5002]

Yessss

[@jilllingenfelter4682]

Anxiety is unending fear/panic and people who have mental illness/ tend go off their meds and they feel like they don’t need to take their meds anymore and that’s a major lie that they have believed and they justify the lies that that they are choosing to believe. And when people have mental illnesses they need to stay on their meds indefinitely:)@Chrystal Evans Hurst

[@melaniethomas-mitchell2918]

Silence hit me hard, and creating space

[@InsideOutWithCourtnaye]

Yes Lord! It’s the time of year when we have run out of steam. Whew child! 🛌

[@wandabooker1394]

This is so good. Silence. Solitude. Sabbath. 🙌🏽

I love you! "You can teach people how to treat you." We are moving too fast.

[@EruvwuObuaya]

These are some sound advice. Thank you for sharing 😊 👌🏾

[@Dobbie890]

Yes, I need rest! I will get more and more as I release, relax and relate to The Lord and others! I will keep my mind stayed on Jesus and will be okay! It is near Easter time now, 2023. Happy Easter Daughter of The Most High God! ♡

[@jessicaredding5144]

Greetings! All of the key points has struck me well and have gotten my attention ❤ thank you, Crystal

[@kassandrav504]

Oh my gosh this BROKE me. Solitude and silence and space all just hurt me to my core. I'm afraid my brain is demanding this of me now. I can't take it anymore. I don't know how to do this when I feel so lost. I feel God so angry with me. I really hate the "this is the only life you have don't waste it" truth because it's slipping through my fingers. Forgive my negativity but I feel so worn out and tired just so tired

[@ChrystalHurst]

It's okay to be tired and worn out. Just don't stay there. Keep moving forward... even if you do it one step at a time. Just keep going.

[@kassandrav504]

@@ChrystalHurst Thank you so much for your reply. Oh my Goodness this is confirmation for me. Please know you gave me an on time confirmed word. Thank you

[@tholyndlovu9912]

Sabath is the best way to get in touch with myself and to have a rest. Solitude is what I need to practice. Thank you for sharing 🙏❤️

[@CHRYSTAL.EVANS.HURST.]

Remain Blessed😇 Correspond to me on what'sap 📧. I got something new'.

[@ireflectetbc2238]

#1 is creating Space to practice Silence, Solitude and Sabbath. I do practice the Sabbath regularly. I’ve read The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry twice via an audiobook (2 years in a row). May read and work on practicing the principles a bit more fully. It includes the S’s you speak of here I believe. Considering getting a print copy! This is a good and essential word Chrystal. Thank you! Shalom!

[@meandmrc12]

Sis!!! This is so good! For the last several months, I’ve made the decision to eliminate unnecessary hardships and I’ve recommitted to GOD’s easier yoke. More prayer. More walking outdoors. More gratitude practice. Less work. Sabbath practice. I feel sane again 😊🤣

[@maryprice8458]

Preach!

[@ChrystalHurst]

Love this! Thanks for watching!

[@dhaimasimon3764]

I love to be silent and I will be trying being solitude thank you !

[@jacqueline122711]

I have an issue with all 3 silence, solitude and sabbath. This was excellent. 12/1/22 is when I listened to it.

[@carolaspinall1965]

Another wisdom and practical filled message, thank you. When I trained as a counsellor our tutor shared the thought of resting from counselling every 7th week, God's pattern is just this, sabbath is the 7th day, fields were rested on the 7th year. If it works for God then it will work for us too. I used to block out the multiples of 7 in my calendar at the beginning of the year. Following God's plan is life enriching. 🥰🙏🏻

[@catalina0427]

I love you for this reminder. Gods peace & blessings to you

[@traceymccauley2909]

Chrystal...been searching everywhere for your planner!!! Can't wait to get it!!! I listened to the ruthless elimination of hurry on audible on the way home from an out of town wedding. I immediately hit my closet and donated lots of clothes and shoes. Still a work in progress. Silence is the biggest challenge for me. I have been doing child care since I was 13. Had a full-time job in high school and two in college always busy always nuts and silence has never been easy for me. Definitely want to work on that. Thank you so much such a wonderful message especially at this time of year. So grateful for all of your insight and the way you share it so clearly.

[@melaniethomas-mitchell2918]

Thank you so much for this!!!!! Praise the Lord! Help me Lord to be still🙏🏽

[@jillw.2524]

I needed to hear this 10yrs ago. Before it burned me up at 57.. physical & mentally & my peace. On road of recovery & healing.

[@ChrystalHurst]

You are on the road to recovery. That's what matters. Praying for you Jill!

[@tiffanysayles5309]

All 3 are necessary for me!

[@robinw.2796]

The area that struck me the most was Sabbath. Even on those days, I am still going. I need to learn to rest. I come from a background of always doing and feeling guilty if I'm not doing something.

[@jacquelinemorehead5206]

Jack M, from the Tri-Valley area in San Ramon, CA. What a Word for such a time as this. ❤

[@dorothyhaywood6199]

Thank you so much for sharing this message 🙏 ❣️ It touched me so much, I've been doing so much trying to work and take care of my Sister who has Dementia it's yery challenging and trying. I decided to take time off on Saturdays for me. I thought I was doing something wrong for feeling like this. Thank you and God Bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🥰

[@robinwoods6741]

The silence is amazing! I get up very early in the morning just for me. I am so grateful to have this time of peace and to hear from our God! It's a beautiful place to be!

[@winniemwanzi866]

Wow very important...if you don't create space for rest...your body will demand it....well said chrystal and thank you ...!!!

[@muziki123]

Praise the Lord for Sabbath!🎉 Sabbath for some of your Christian listeners is indeed Saturday i.e. from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. It is the most restful day of each week😊

[@D.Suber4]

Silence is what stood out to me. I listen to a lot of podcast and sermons which are good but i can stop more and just listen to the Lord. ❤

[@ChrystalHurst]

yaaaaaas!

[@rebeccahayhurst442]

Crystal, this is so helpful for me and full of so much wisdom. It’s so true that the the world and the enemy screams at us to be busy and to be afraid or worried. You’re sisters study on Sabbath really helped me not to feel guilt about taking a weekly Sabbath and that why God commands it. I think I still struggle with the guilt in more subtle ways and this practical insight is like a friend reminding me of truth and wisdom. Your videos encourage me and help so much!

[@Jesusislovingu]

It is ! I’m learning that still ! Rest is worship . Who would have thought ? 🙂

[@kingsaunders1433]

So good and so needed!

[@praiseplanner2274]

Solitude is definitely something I need to truly focus on. My brain I now feel is ALL OVER THE PLACE, BUT I CAN’T FOCUS ON ANYTHING FOR TOO LONG.

[@lakeishas242]

I need to meditate on this teaching each day in the week ahead. This is soooooooo good. Love from The Bahamas 🇧🇸 (where I don’t even make time to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea)

[@trinadeadmon1144]

WoW I work two jobs and went to the morning job and had planned to go to the other one. Sitting in my car just looking, thinking IN SILENCE🥰 and decided NOOO go home and REST. Thank you Chrystal

[@oneof7billion627]

Good for you.. Phil.4:19

[@ChrystalHurst]

So happy to hear that you gave yourself a break!

[@nicolemarie3258]

Chrystal, I'm so encouraged by this message! You shared such positive insight, on what I believe, I needed to hear today. I'm going to implement this into my week from now on. I've been feeling so tired, and drained. Now, I've recognized my mistake, always doing everything all at once, pushing myself when I feel overwhelmed. Thank you for this timely message! God bless you sister!👍🙂

[@NoemiFodorenau]

So good! I have announced my Sunday nap for a year. I have friends and family that roll their eyes and make fun of me but I do not care. I also practice Sabbath from Saturday 5pm to Monday 6am.

[@BarbaraJClaxton]

Thank you so much for this encouragement. I appreciated hearing this teaching that is like a needful chiropractic adjustment to my soul. This priceless instruction is for the direction I must choose to embrace. My heart desires to flourish in the vine of truth, not be separated eternally from it. I understand now how I have resisted the silence, solitude, and sabbath rest for five months now. My phone and TV have distracted and hindered all because I was unable to appreciate my singleness at this stage of my life. Today, however, I purposed to allow myself to engage with change by trusting the nuggets of wisdom you shared in this video.😅

[@jessieweis4034]

Wow! I find it so interesting that God brought me to this video today, after I spent 3 days by myself considering the solitude and silence in my life! Thanks for posting it! I'm a senior lady, who been living alone for the last 7 years. I sit 2 of my grandchildren 4 days a week (which change occasionally (the days, not the grandsons! lol! But, in all this time, I've never spent any time considering my solitude, and what God has brought me to this point in life for. I am finishing up one OBS and about to start your next one, and ran into this video through the emails from that. I have lived alone for several years before today with a few spans of a friend living nearby and helping me get to church in a Covid-sequestered world. But, during this time of solitude, I've increased my Bible studies, personal worship time, and personal prayer time. Because our churches in our town insisted on folks wearing masks until just recently (which exacerbates my asthma) and because I live in a hilly city, I have been unable to start going back to a church for the last two years. I attend an online church, and have connected to the pastors there, so I can get counsel if I need it for something, but solitude has been a prominent feature in my life. During the last 5 years, I also underwent trials with my daughter becoming an addict and going on the street, and my going to live with their dad. My grandsons suffered from violence and isolation by their dad (even keeping them from going to school), and ended up in a foster home, with a violent foster mother. I prayed for the next 3 years for God to do something, and (I won't give you the whole story, cause it's very long) but, I witnessed miracle after miracle, which got my daughter sober and off the street, and the boys home to live with her. I've pretty much trusted God since I was 5, but didn't really know him until the last 5 years, but my life has changed so much since I did. And, has changed a LOT more since this show of his love, mercy, and power. Now, at this point, He's talking to me about my solitude, and so I am truly thrilled that he brought me here. Don't know what is next or where the road leads from here, but this confirmed something is going on in my spiritual life. Amazing! Thanks so much! God lbess!

[@melissagoodrich5213]

I recently started meditating. I've heard Christians aren't supposed to meditate, but it's already been so helpful for me personally in addition to prayer etc.

[@RuthDameron]

Last December GOD ask me to take a Sabbath rest the first Sunday off every month. It was difficult in the beginning to stop everything but I can say it has made the world of difference in my spirituality and natural life. My worship is deeper, relationship with JESUS deeper, ear for the Spirit me in touch as a result. Lost weight, look younger at 70 than I did decades ago!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🥰

[@Des7563]

Thank you for this gold wisdom! I'm a mom of a toddler so I decided to take a bath on my lunch time and it was super refreshing!!! My son gave me about 15 minutes to myself lol. BUT I felt refreshed once I finished. Hehe

I really enjoyed this & I'm saving it in my Liked Videos. I'm learning more and more about the necessity of me taking some me-time even if it's for a half hour each day. If I keep busy all day or have noise around me all day, I get overwhelmed & irritable after awhile.
