The Permission to Pause

Scripture:

“And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while.” —Mark 6:31 (KJV)

Daily Thought:

Even Jesus recognized the weight of constant ministry and called His disciples to pause. For mental health professionals, rest is not optional—it is sacred. When you stop long enough to breathe, you realign with God’s rhythm. Rest is not weakness but stewardship.

Life Application:

Block at least 20 minutes this week for uninterrupted rest (no phone, no client charts, no “to-do” lists). Use this time to walk, breathe, or sit quietly with God.

Reflection Question:

What does giving yourself permission to rest look like this week?
