I do not believe He needed to rest because He gets tired like you
and I, but instead for a pattern of rest for us, because we need it
He did it. I believe God is more aware of the universe than we are
as far time, distance, reactions and so on. I believe God becoming
a man also gave Him the insight into our lives that allows Him to
Help us because He tasted what is like to be a man.

How could god not have known what it was like to be a man? Are there things beyond his knowledge? Is god capable of learning anything if he already knows everything?

I'd say it like knowning the answers verses sharing the experiences.

"I do not believe He needed to rest because He gets tired like you and I, but instead for a pattern of rest for us, because we need it He did it."
I don't understand what you mean by a "pattern of rest for us"? My rest comes at night when I sleep, not every seventh day. And why would God need to set a pattern of rest for us? This statement is extremely confusing to me. Could you explain it further and also explain why it's so imperative that God sets this pattern out for us?
"I believe God becoming a man also gave Him the insight into our lives that allows Him to Help us because He tasted what is like to be a man."
What? Do you not believe that God is omniscient? Interesting.
It is as I said earlier, knowing the answers is different than sharing
an experience. Pattern of rest, the 7th day, we need to unwind at
least one day a week.
