Key Scripture:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
Reflection / Message:
In a world that glorifies busyness, rest often feels like weakness. But in God’s kingdom, rest is sacred. It’s not just about sleep or slowing down—it’s about surrender.
Jesus invites us to come to Him when we are weary, not after we’ve fixed ourselves or caught up on everything. He calls us as we are—tired, overwhelmed, unsure—and promises to give rest for our souls.
True rest doesn’t come from escaping life; it comes from trusting God with it. When we release control, He restores. When we stop striving, He speaks. When we draw near, He renews.
The same God who calmed the storm can calm your spirit. You don’t have to carry the weight of every responsibility alone. His arms are open, and His rest is freely given.
“My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” — Exodus 33:14
Take a moment today to pause—not to plan, not to perform, but to simply be still in His presence. Let His peace fill the space where your worry used to live.
Prayer:
Lord, teach me to rest in You. When my heart is restless, remind me that Your presence is enough. Quiet my mind, restore my spirit, and help me find renewal in Your love. Amen.
