Rest again
Matt. 11:28, 29 - "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
"Young gives the meaning of rest as 'rest again, cease from, rest thoroughly.' Rest again is the word for today. We are not promised smooth roads, but rough. When things are smooth, we should look up in delight and thanksgiving thinking of them as breathing spaces rather than as the normal condition of things. Rough roads make it certain that we shall often come to our Lord for rest. Our dear Lord will never be surprised by our frequent coming. He will never tire of resting us, and in the rest He gives His strength. His invitation stands sure: Come unto Me and I will give you rest, rest again."From Whispers of His Power by Amy Carmichael.
