12 Powerful Bible Verses to Help You Find Rest in God’s Promises

We live in a world that never seems to stop moving, don’t we…?

There’s always one more thing to do, another problem to solve, another worry sneaking its way into our hearts…

But what if you could find peace—real, soul-refreshing rest…?

Well, God’s promises are like an anchor in a storm, and His Word has all the reassurance we need…

Here are 12 powerful Bible verses to remind you that God’s got you—no matter what…

Let these verses be your source of comfort, peace, and rest…


1. Isaiah 40:31

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

When you’re running on empty, God promises to fill you up. Like, “soaring-on-eagle’s-wings” full. Waiting on Him isn’t just passive—it’s expectant. It’s knowing that He’s working things out for your good.


2. Matthew 11:28-30

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

This one’s a classic. Jesus himself is saying, “Hey, if life’s too much, come to me. I’ve got you.” It’s the ultimate promise of rest, not just for your body but for your soul. That’s deep.


3. Psalm 4:8

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.”

We’ve all had those nights where sleep just won’t come because our minds are racing. But this verse is like a heavenly lullaby. God is your security. He’s got the night shift covered.


4. Jeremiah 31:25

“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.”

Short and sweet, but oh-so powerful. Feeling drained? Here’s God’s promise—He’ll give you what you need to keep going. He’ll satisfy your soul in ways that nothing else can.


5. Exodus 33:14

“And he said, ‘My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’”

God’s presence isn’t just comforting—it’s rest-giving. No matter where you go or what you face, His promise to be with you is unshakable. And with Him comes peace.


6. Psalm 46:10

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

This verse is like God saying, “Stop. Breathe. I’ve got this.” When life feels chaotic, sometimes the hardest thing to do is just to be still. But that’s when we realize He’s in control, not us. And that’s a good thing.


7. Isaiah 26:3

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”

Here’s a little secret: peace starts in your mind. Fix your thoughts on God, and He’ll keep you in perfect peace. Perfect. Not a watered-down version, but the real deal.


8. Philippians 4:6-7

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Life can be overwhelming, but here’s the promise—God’s peace is beyond what we can even understand. So next time you’re anxious, hand it over to Him. He’s ready to guard your heart and mind.


9. Zephaniah 3:17

“The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.”

Did you catch that? God sings over you! His love quiets your fears, silences your doubts, and gives you rest. It’s like a divine lullaby straight from heaven.


10. Hebrews 4:9-10

“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.”

Sabbath isn’t just a day—it’s a state of rest in God’s presence. It’s about trusting Him enough to stop striving and just be. There’s a divine invitation here to rest as God intended.


11. Psalm 62:1-2

“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.”

When everything around you feels shaky, God is your rock. He’s unmovable, unshakable, and that’s where your rest comes from. Lean into that.


12. John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

Jesus promises His peace. It’s not the kind of peace the world offers—the temporary, conditional kind. It’s the real, everlasting peace that comes straight from Him. And it’s yours for the taking.


When life feels overwhelming, these verses are your go-to reminders that rest is possible. Not just physical rest, but deep, spiritual rest.

Rest that quiets your soul and reminds you that God’s promises are true, unshakable, and just waiting for you to lean on them. Rest easy, friend. God’s got this!
