How can you know you are in a place of rest if you are not seeking the Lord in what He is leading you to do. Do we go our own way and ask Him to bless us. Are we asking for Him to bless us when we have not sought Him with our heart or humbled ourselves before Him. Our purpose is to honor and glorify Him. Humbly seek Him and find purpose and rest doing His will for your life.

the Spirit of the Lord gave them rest.
So you led your people,
to make for yourself a glorious name

Daniel 10:12
Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words
