No cost or low cost ways to Rest

Rest is not always about spending money on a luxurious item or experience that you can’t afford regularly. In fact, I think the rest that God instructs should be part of our daily and weekly rhythms. If you can’t regularly afford it, then it cannot be your primary source of TROG. Here are some no cost and low cost ways to rest.

  1. Read a book of the Bible you have never read before
  2. Play a Bible game
  3. Spend time with one of God’s creature: an animal, plant, or nature
  4. Go to a children’s playground and watch children have fun. Aren’t children the heritage of the Lord? (Ps 127:3)
  5. Daydream: Here’s a prompt: If you were God and re-create the whole world, what would you do?
  6. Dress up in your Sunday clothes all day at home and design your own worship
  7. Write a letter to God, Jesus, or any other Bible Character.
  8. With friends: do charades but of Bible characters and stories
  9. Check this website and this website for general ideas.

Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to show some extra love to yourself.

  1. These are unique. It’s a first, seeing these tips for the first time.

    I have tried number 3 though but not to rest. I can attest to it that it’s relaxing to spend time with nature.

    I will use this list in my next attempt to take a rest.
    I hope it works
