Rest for the Weary
Recover a rhythm of rest for your soul in this guided study through Psalm 23.
Let's face it, we all could do with a little more rest in our lives! Sadly, most of us know very little about what it means to truly find rest in God; instead, we chase endlessly after satisfaction or identity in any number of lesser things, all the while haunted by fear, shame, or anxiety. This is an all-too-common problem... but the good news is that it is not hopeless! God actually designed us for both purpose and rest! When we find our idenity in Him, we can live with confidence knowing that we're capable of moving mountains for the kingdom, but that we don't have to run ourselves ragged trying to do so.
Psalm 23 is one of the most well-known and oft-quoted passages in the whole Bible. In this 5-part course, you will study slowly through this incredibly rich section of Scripture, focusing on what it means to rest in the promises of God, and how to fully trust Him in life's darkest moments. Enroll today, and let this psalm of David sink into your spirit!
Thank you for creating this course! It has reminded me that God is moving in my life even when I'm not taking the time to slow down and notice. It was amazing to discover how the Holy Spirit was moving in my life just from working through this study!

IS BUYING A COURSE LIKE THIS REALLY WORTH THE INVESTMENT?

Enrolling in a course through Ordinary Faith University helps give you some added structure, content, and motivation to stay diligent and faithful in your journey of faith. While free resources can be great, their completion rate is often quite low simply because there is no real investment on the front end. When you make the decision to invest in your spiritual development - even with an affordable course like this one - you give yourself the motivation to get the most for your money. The result? You'll be more engaged, more attentive, more committed to the process, and more willing to take the necessary steps to see personal growth and transformation. After all, this is all about you!
But don't just take my word for it...
HEAR WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
I was so blessed by this course! To study through Psalm 23 slowly and take time time to hear what God was saying... it was so refreshing! Seriously, it made me long to be with God. Thanks for taking the time to make the study!

Even though this was a familiar passage of Scripture, is was so helpful to slow down, focus in, and reflect on it in detail. The call to rest was so refreshing and much needed, especially given the culture we live in!
