Bring Your Weariness

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, 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 (NASB)

Over-worked?  Stressed out?  Too much on your mind?  So tired that you find it hard to sleep?  Yep, we may all end up there at some point.  We start out running here, then there, and soon we're running everywhere.  Our to-do list grows faster than we can cross things off.  Whenever we get to the point of being weary and over-burdened, there's only one solution: take a step back and turn everything over to God!

It is a simple promise: If you go to Jesus and turn over whatever is bothering or burdening you, then He will give you rest.  This one promise can be rejuvenating and enable us to move forward refreshed and ready to serve God to the best of our abilities.  Whenever we allow Jesus to take control, He allows our soul to rest.  Our peaceful and rested souls will then allow our bodies to rest.

Learn from Jesus.  Take your weariness, concerns, and troubles to Him, then let Him take over so your body, mind, and soul can rest and rejuvenate!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your promise to take away my burdens and allow my soul to rest.  Help me to know when to step back and allow my body, mind, and soul to rest in Your healing hands.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
