12 Bible Verses about Rest - ESV

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.

Thus says the Lord:
Stand by the roads, and look,
and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way is; and walk in it,
and find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.

Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant, or your ox or your donkey or any of your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.

Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.

So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
