Genesis 8:9 King James Version (KJV)

9 The dove could not find a place to ·land [set/rest its foot] because water still covered the earth, so it came back to the ·boat [ark]. Noah reached out his hand and took the bird and brought it back into the boat.

When we can not find rest Jesus will always be there to take us in.

A dove with olive leaf in its beak symbolizes God’s Spirit bringing peace which would happen soon, peace and only be brought to us through the power of the Holy Spirit.
