“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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 (NIV)

The demands and responsibilities we face can wear us out. Add in a measure of concern for family and friends, health issues, worries over finances, and the load of our lives can become too heavy to carry.

Yet, God is with us. He wants us to come to him and lay our troubles at his feet. He’ll help carry the load. We don’t need to worry any longer. God will guide us. We can trust in Him. We have a helper in all we do, even when we feel alone.

May we be thankful that even when we are weary, we can find rest. I hope this encourages you today.

How about you? How do you lighten the load that weighs you down?

Let’s encourage one another.
