Matthew 11:28-30
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Life can get heavy. When it comes to things that can weigh us down, the list is long. Worry and anxiety trouble our souls. Burdens consume our thinking. Trials can drain the energy from our bodies. Life’s load brings spiritual, physical, and emotional weariness.
Jesus invites us to lighten the load. He asks all who are weighed down to find relief in Him. He promises to bring peace and calmness to our souls. When we partner with Him on the journey, He takes the heavy burden and makes it light. He is a gentle and humble teacher.
You don’t have to walk alone. You don’t have to stumble under the load. It’s time to begin the journey with Jesus. It’s time to give your worry and anxiety to Him. Your Father has so much to teach you. It’s time to come to Jesus and find rest for your soul.
Lord Jesus, I have carried this burden far too long. My present sin is disabling my heart. My past guilt has paralyzed my future obedience. Anxiety over things I can’t control has taken siege over my soul. I am worn out. I cannot continue on my own. So, right now I come to You. I am taking You at Your word. I am seeking to partner with You so You can take my load. I am ready for my burden to be lightened. I am ready for some real rest. I am counting on You. Amen.
