Rest for the Exhausted

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

Jesus said "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden." He didn't say "Get yourself together and then come." He said come while you're exhausted, while you're carrying too much, while you're barely holding on. His yoke is easy because He carries the heavy end. You don't have to keep white-knuckling your way through life.

Try This Today

Set a five-minute timer. Sit somewhere quiet, close your eyes, and mentally hand each heavy thing to Jesus, one at a time. Name them: the deadline, the relationship, the worry. Then leave them there.
