There were so many people coming and going that they could not even take time to eat, so He said to them, "Come with Me by yourselves to a place where we can be alone, and you can get some rest." Mark 6:31

Note that He said, "Come and rest," not "Go and rest." True rest is found in companionship with the Lord. Resting is not merely a ceasing of toil but coming apart and fellowshipping with Him.
