 "question": "What is the faith-rest technique, and how can we exercise it to produce peace in our lives?",
 "answer": "The faith-rest technique takes its name and meaning from Hebrews 4, where God offers His people entrance into His rest. The Exodus generation failed to enter the Promised Land because the word they heard was not united by faith, but Hebrews 4:3 tells us that this life of rest is still available to those who believe. The rest is not heaven but spiritual maturity, a rest of maximum production and blessing, and we cannot enter it until we learn to have faith in the promises of God. Because faith is a learned response, we need a technique for learning it, and the faith-rest technique is simply the process of claiming biblical promises; as we do this day after day, we are pumping spiritual iron and our faith grows stronger. There are seven disciplines that produce peace, each exercised by faith: learn to accept life unconditionally, live in conscious fellowship with God, keep short accounts with God, seek the Word of God daily, trust in the power of prayer, rest in the promises of God, and see eternal purpose in life's trials.",
