Lightening Our Burdens
Thought for the Day
“Each of us has had times when something we did weighted heavily on our minds. The Good News is that God’s arms are always open for us no matter what our past holds. Once we decide to give ourselves over to Him, we will be set free and find rest for a weary soul.”
Today’s Word
“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.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NIV)
Today’s Prayer Lord, You asked that I take upon myself Your yoke and join with You. Unlike the heavy burden of the yoke which joins two oxen, Your yoke is a comfort. In being joined with you, I find rest for my soul. Amen
Personal Reflection
When was the last time you sat, took a rest, and committed your weary body and soul to God for replenishment?
