Rest for My Weariness, Joy for My Sorrow

 


“For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing.”

 

Jeremiah 31:25 (NLT)

 





O God, the One who sees me,

 

In those times when I become weary, in those times when sorrow fills my heart, may I find in You the rest You promise, and may You strengthen me with inexpressible joy!

 

You know me completely!  You know how easy it is for me to let the cares of this world weigh me down.  So, let me find my rest in You—as I choose to live my life in Christ.

 

You know every sorrow that fills my heart!  Yet, You offer to restore me to a place of strength and gladness—as, by Your Holy Spirit, You fill me with the joy of my salvation!

 

So draw me close to You—so I can find rest for my weariness, and joy for my sorrow, in Christ Jesus alone!

 

In those times when I become weary, in those times when sorrow fills my heart, may I find in You the rest You promise, and may You strengthen me with inexpressible joy!

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
