“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)
Loving Father,
Help me to learn to come to You,
before I find myself worn out and loaded down by all those things that this life has thrown my way…those things that I have willingly picked up and tried to take care of on my own…so that I can learn to find...in You...the rest, relief and refreshing that I so desperately need.
Help me to learn to come to You,
so that You can help me to balance and carry out those responsibilities that You have called me to carry out, with the inner strength that comes as I learn from You…and as I find peace and quiet for my soul in Your presence.
Help me to learn to come to You,
knowing that what You require of me is comparatively little…and easily taken care of…when I allow You to show me the way.
Help me to learn to come to You.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Your message was just what I need. I need to find peace in the knowledge that I cannot do all that I once did and to do what God wants me to do now, knowing that God will care for the rest. Thanks for your inspiration.
