Psalm 23: He Restores My Soul

Psalm 23:3 declares one of the most hopeful promises in Scripture: “He restores my soul.” In this episode, Dr. Tony Myers explains how restoration is directly connected to learning to stop. God does not design us for constant, unending busyness. Yet many of us continue to push forward, fearing what we might discover if we slow down. This teaching explores how God restores by turning us back—back to our intended design, back to trust, and back to dependence on Him. True rest is not passive; it is an act of faith. It is choosing to trust God rather than relying on our own efforts to create meaning, security, or significance. God’s leading does not always mean comfort. Sometimes He leads through difficult paths to free us from self-sufficiency and deepen our trust in Him. In those moments, we discover that restoration is not found in doing more, but in trusting more.
