Return to your rest, my soul. God has been good to me.

A Bible affirmation for overthinking, rooted in Psalm 116:7.

Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.

Psalm 116:7 · BSB

Reflection

The psalmist had been close to death and cried out to God, who rescued him. Now he calls his soul back to rest by reminding it of God's goodness. Remembering what God has done quiets what you're imagining.

A prayer

Lord, remind me how good You've been to me, and call my soul back to rest.
