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, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light. Matthew 11:28-30
Whenever I read these verses I breathe a sigh of relief. Jesus knows our challenges and deadlines before we face them. He knows the weariness of our minds and bodies before we are aware of that situation.
Are you facing what seems like a situation today that is beyond your ability? Are you facing a situation that is within your ability, and at the end of the day you are exhausted?
I encourage you to lay down your burdens and give them to the creator of the universe and let Him help you today. Release that pressure and feel how being yoked to Him will change your day!
LORD, thank you for your offer to carry my burdens for me. I give them all to you and I gladly receive your rest! I place myself under your yoke to learn from you. Teach me your wisdom that is humble and pure, and help me to walk in the ways you set before me. Thank you for your mercy and love that invite me to live my life resting and trusting in you! In Jesus' name I pray Amen.
