#3 Restored By Rest

1 Kings 19:1-8; Psalm 4:8; Lamentations 3:21-23 Talk Outline Talk Summary In this final talk of the Unhurried series, we explore what the Bible teaches about sleep, trust, and God’s never-ending care for his people. Beginning in the Psalms, we see how sleep is a gift of God’s common grace and a daily reminder that while we must rest, the Lord never does. Scripture confronts our temptation to live as if everything depends on us, and invites us instead to trust the God who watches over us without slumber and sustains us even in fear, anxiety, and exhaustion. The we turn to Elijah in 1 Kings 19, where God meets a burnt-out prophet not first with answers, but with mercy through sleep, food, and quiet presence. From there, we lift our eyes to Jesus, who reframes death itself as sleep and resurrection as waking to new life. The message concludes with the daily hope of Lamentations 3, that no matter how the night has gone, God’s mercies are new every morning. Together, the talk calls us to live unhurried lives marked by physical rest, spiritual alertness, and deep trust in the God who is always awake, always faithful, and always at work.
