Run to Jesus for rest. Sometimes we can begin to feel weary, like we have the weight of the world on our shoulders. But if we turn to Jesus and lay it all at his feet he will give you rest.
Alot of the times we are feeling weary or overwhelmed it is because we are trying to take control and do it in our own way. We are either taking on things we have no business doing. Or we are trying to do it all in our own strength. Life is busy and there will always be something to do. But if we are obedient to God and do things His way, we will have rest.
Even in a busy season of life we can go to Jesus for rest. Jesus doesn't give us heavy burdens, He doesn't overwhelm us. Instead, He lightens our load. He takes our heavy burdens and gives us light ones. But we have to be obedient to God and his will. We need to allow the Lord to give us rest and trust that everything will work out in his timing.
Prayer:
Lord we thank you for your love, grace, and mercy. Help us to let go of controlling everything and allow you to take charge. We just ask that you give us rest. Help us to not allow ourselves to be weighed down by heavy burdens and trust that everything will get done in your timing. Help us to remember that we don't have to do everything ourselves. We thank you for the rest and peace you give us, In Jesus name we pray Amen.
Verse:
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 NLT
