Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a Five Day a Week, Daily Devotional where we share the word, prayers, and our heart.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent.

Shanty Felton is our guest on the show today, and I'm guessing a good number of my listeners out there have read a book or two of hers.

Anyone remember the book

with a striped cover for women only? Small little book? Yeah, Shanty wrote that, and what a helpful

resource that was. But Shanty isn't here to talk about that today, and it's just one of the many

things she's done in her very astute career. She's a popular speaker, best-selling author, and groundbreaking

social researcher. She's a smart one. She has a master's degree from Harvard University and has worked

on Wall Street and Capitol Hill. She also has the best job of wife and mom, and her new devotional

book, Find Rest, is absolutely gorgeous, And I mean it, you'll want to sit

this one out in your house. And as a woman who needs rest myself, I love this 60-day offering by

Shanty. So here she is now to inspire us. You know, as women today, we are all so busy and so stretched and so stressed.

I'm sure you guys are.

I am, I'm a wife, I'm a mom.

I have two teenagers.

I'm always running around, always jumping on an airplane to go on speaking trips.

And I really wanted to know, are there answers

for how we can find rest in today's really busy life?

And so I started to look, because I'm also a social researcher,

I started to look at what science says and what scripture says.

And I was so struck by this promise of Jesus. You might be

familiar with this scripture where he says, come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden.
