1. I find so much significance in what I do, that it has become my source of value and affirmation about who I am. I am what I do. || Has your work become an idol? Jonah 2:8 “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them.” 1 John 3:1 “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.”

“By forgetting to stop, we forget God. Restlessness — the refusal to lay down our work so we can open our arms to God — means that our busy hands are always full. This robs God of glory — his weighty significance in our lives.” –Adam Mabry
Tell me, if you imagine a regular day of actual rest, does it make you feel anxious? Your fear of stopping might reveal what you’re really worshiping.
2. Rest is for the weak. I’m not weak. I have to hustle and grind as hard as I can 24/7 in order to achieve my dreams. || Are you depending on yourself, or on God for strength, and for what you need? Isaiah 40:31, Matthew 6:33
3. I need to achieve my dreams. I need more out of my life. I have goals. I have a destiny. || Have you surrendered your desires to God like in Psalm 37:4 or Luke 22:42?
4. I need to keep working in order to stay in control. I’m already losing so much control. You don’t know how anxious I am. I have to be ready for every problem. I can’t be taken by surprise. I must control my future. || Are you casting your cares upon God like in 1 Peter 5:7 or Romans 8:28?
