Come and Rest
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28 NKJV
Reflection:
Our burdens lift when we stop trying to carry them alone. What feels like giving up is actually giving in to God’s power. His rest renews us and frees us from striving in our own strength. We abide in Him, letting His life flow through us with peace.
Application:
➤ Lay your burdens at Jesus’ feet in prayer.
➤ Stop striving—trust His strength over your own.
➤ Abide in Him daily to experience His rest.
Connection:
Thank You, Lord, I surrender my burdens to You. Give me Your rest as I trust in Your care. You are so faithful. I stand in awe. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
