Written by You are not defined by the weight you carry. The One who bore the cross now offers His strength in exchange for your weariness.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
In this verse Jesus speaks directly to people carrying burdens they cannot carry alone. His does not say to escape difficult circumstances, but to give our exhaustion, pain, guilt, disappointment, and fear to Him. When church leaders fail us, our friends and family disappoint us, when life becomes overwhelming, or when our hearts are wounded, Christ remains a safe place to turn. His rest starts when we stop carrying everything ourselves and trust the One who promises to carry us.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, help me guard my mind and heart today. Give me the wisdom and strength I need to walk through the chaos. Keep and direct me from trouble that comes from the things in life. Teach me to always depend on you first and not my own thoughts and anxiety. In Jesus Name Amen.
