Release, Rest, Remain

A 30-Day Devotional to Embrace Abiding Over Striving

By: Yvette Henry

Narrated by: Yvette Henry

Discover lasting peace and joy amid life's chaos with this 30-day journey designed for busy women to release burdens to God, rest in His presence, and remain steadfast in His love.

In the busyness of everyday life, finding a quiet moment can feel impossible. Maybe you’re juggling a full inbox, constantly attending to others’ needs, or tackling an endless number of tasks on your to-do list.

If you’re looking to escape the runaway train of nonstop activity in your life, explore the profound words of peace that Jesus spoke to His disciples in John 15, just hours before His arrest. Words that were not about doing but about being—about dwelling with Him, especially during lifeʼs most challenging moments.

Release, Rest, Remain is a thirty-day invitation to slow down and find rest in the presence of the God who invites you to lay it all down. Each day you’ll find compelling stories, thoughtful Scripture study, and honest questions, guiding you to

• Release the need to hold it all together and trust the One who already is
• Rest in the truth of God’s Word when everything else feels uncertain
• Remain with Him, and discover the lasting contentment found only in His presence

Discover lasting peace and joy amid life’s chaos. Let go of the burdens you were never meant to carry and experience a life brimming with spiritual fruit.

Release, rest, remain . . . repeat.

Critic reviews

“I have been longing to know God’s love in greater ways. Within the pages of Release, Rest, Remain, I realized my soul’s desire for peace was within reach. Yvette Henry’s vulnerability was a breath of fresh air to my hurried heart. Her invitation to come to Christ just as I am is less about doing more and all about coming beside. The book is a necessity for your soul.”—Anjuli Paschall, author of Stay, Awake, and Feel, speaker, and spiritual director

“Release, Rest, Remain is a call to God’s order for gathering the peace we are all seeking. Each day deserves quality time to observe the goodness of God and the opportunity to take Him up on His promises.”—Tieko Nejon, emotional intelligence practitioner and corporate trainer

“Release, Rest, Remain is an incredible resource for women looking for a way to return to a sense of peace with themselves and the Lord, without denying the reality of what they’re carrying. Yvette Henry does an incredible job weaving wisdom, Scriptural insight, and relatable honesty into powerful yet digestible daily devotionals that leave you feeling encouraged and reoriented. This devotional is for anyone who wants to journey toward rest, regulation, and honesty with God and themselves.”—Kobe Campbell, LCMHC-QS, trauma therapist and author of Why Am I Like This?

Biblical Death made Practical for the Busy Mind

It was such a beautiful journey to study a passage of scripture that has always been near and dear to my heart but broken out and slowed down to be reflected on in a way that really allows you to sit with the words in the way Jesus intended for us to. It is so special to be an observer of how someone can trust God and see him bestow a crown of beauty on them instead of ashes. This was a lovely read and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a way to reset after a tough season.

Best Devotional I’ve Read This Year!

Yvette not only makes you realize that releasing, resting and remaining in Christ is necessary, but that it’s a deep privilege we get to do.

Delightful.

Such a simple practical devotional

I love her voice, tone and message. Highly recommend. Super practical devotional that reminds me and shows me how to be intentional about resting, releasing and remaining.

A sure must read!

I am looking forward ro many more books from the author. This book was exactly what I needed on my journey of surrender!

Give the things you were never meant to carry back to God!

I listened to this book on the way to work each morning for 30 days and felt encouraged to release, rest and remain in each chapter. You’re always told to just give it to God but never told how. This book gives practical tips for how to give things to God. Resting is something I often struggle with so I will definitely be revisiting John 15 and this book to be reminded of how to let God be in control. I loved that in the conclusion Yvette gave journaling prompts you can return to even after finishing the book. I’m a fan and an active listener of How married are you? Yvette and Glen always give practical advice and a good laugh. If you’re looking to strengthen your relationship with God and stop carrying things you were never meant to, give this book a listen!
