Much Needed Rest!

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28 (NIV)

There are times when I am just tired.  When I am tired I am usually easily frustrated, too.  Things that wouldn't normally be a big deal become sources of irritation and frustration leading to even less rest!  No matter whether I am physically, mentally, or emotionally tired, there is only one way to break the cycle of not enough rest.

I know I usually get tired and frustrated when I am trying to do too much on my own.  Jesus offers us the solution to being tired and frustrated.  His solution is simple.  We just have to take all of our burdens to Him.  We don't need to worry or try to fix every little thing on our own.  We need to trust that He is with us and that He is ready, willing, and able to tackle whatever is weighing on our minds and bodies.  We just need to ask for His help and then allow Him to help!

Turn over your problems to Jesus and get some much needed rest!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always being ready and willing to help.  Thank You for the promises of Your Son, Jesus Christ.  Help me to turn my burdens over to Him so that I can be rested and ready to praise You and spread Your Word.  Through Jesus, my Rest, I pray, amen.
