Rest from worry, from striving -- rest from anything and everything that troubles us, comes from the Presence of God. It comes from knowing God. Not just from hearing about Him or reading about Him but from really and truly knowing God.
Many times we are worried about stuff in our lives because we have trouble believing God's Word concerning our situations. And this is because we don't know God. It's a lot easier to trust somebody when you know them. The better you know them, the easier it is for you to trust them.
We need to know God. The more we know God, the more we will trust Him, and His promises to us.
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,
so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
-- Acts 3:19
All things have been delivered to Me by My Father,
and no one knows the Son except the Father.
Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son,
and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him
Come to Me, all you 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.”
-- Matthew 11:33:13-14
You can't know God and not trust Him. You can't know God and not love Him. You can't know God and not serve Him -- Bishop David Oyedepo

Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight,
show me now Your way, that I may know You
and that I may find grace in Your sight.
And consider that this nation is Your people.”
And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
