Bible verses about rest
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
