Excerpt:
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. Matthew 11:28-29 Details swirl in your brain interrupting sleep. You make lists at stop lights on the back of envelopes. Ideas come to you at all hours of the day. Your heart and your body are running on empty. Weary one, come and find rest. Today I Pray for You: • To unleash your burden. Roll your cares onto the shoulders of the One who’s able to bear the load. • To find peace as you exchange your worries for His peace. Today You Pray: God of Rest, I come to You. I pause here in Your arms. I breathe in serenity. You know there are more things to think about than my brain can hold. I can’t sleep for thinking. I sit with my burdens in my arms. I offer them to You. Take them from me and give me Your rest. Invade my frazzled brain with Your peace. Thank you for giving me a place of rest.
