Isaiah 30:15

Isaiah 30:15
This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it."

This verse has been sticking with me for over a year now, particularly the middle "
In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength".

I seem to have trouble with all 4 of those things: repentance, rest, quietness and trust. I also really recognize the importance of all of them. Why is it so hard to do those things? I can trust people, but I struggle to trust God. I can rest and be quiet physically, but I can't quiet my mind. And even resting physically is difficult most of the time when there is just so much to do.

It isn't that I don't think it is necessary or that I can do a better job than God, I just can't seem to actually make myself do and be what I know is best.
