God Provides Rest
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 at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT)
Thought
God doesn’t want us to wait to go to Heaven one day. Instead, He wants to bring Heaven to our lives and this earth. Part of the way He does that is by giving us rest and peace. In God, there is unlimited freedom and peace.
Prayer Practice
Pause
God isn’t burdensome. He doesn’t need anything from you. He chooses you because He loves you. Sit a moment and practice being with God instead of working for God.
Rejoice
Rejoice that God wants to give you rest. Rejoice that God is:
- Humble.
- Gentle at heart.
- Easy to be around.
Ask
Ask Him to carry your heavy burdens today.
Yield
Sit and wait until your soul is at peace and rest. Turn on some soothing worship music and listen to the words. Sit and let His peace and rest fill you.
