When you actually totally surrender your life to Christ, your life becomes much more peaceful. You no longer worry about what tomorrow may bring, you don't have to be in control of what's going to happen tomorrow, you don't feel like you have to be in control of every circumstance in your life. Now that does not mean that you no longer care what happens or that you don't have sympathy for others who are going through great challenges. Certainly you care about the world condition and what others are feeling. But, you can finally rest and take comfort in the fact that no matter what happens, God has already gone before you and He will always make a way for you, He will take care of your life and no matter what challenges may come your way, God's grace is sufficient to bring you through. THAT is the Rest that we find through obedience and total surrender to God.
"There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience." (Hebrews 4:9-11)
