	Description:		Summer often promises freedom, rest, and joy— but reality doesn’t always match the dream. Between busy parenting schedules, financial constraints, and constant demands, finding rest can feel like just another to-do. In today’s devotional, Amanda Idleman reminds us that rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a spiritual necessity. Even Jesus paused. And He invites us to do the same. Whether your summer includes an exotic getaway or quiet backyard mornings, this prayerful reflection urges us to shift our mindset and embrace intentional stillness. Rest doesn’t require a plane ticket—just a willing heart and open spirit.
