Come and rest
Jesus, you invited tired people to come to you. I'm tired, so here I am.
I've been carrying more than I was built to carry. Some of it isn't even mine.
You said your yoke is easy and your burden is light. Show me what that looks like today, in real life.
I pray for friends who are worn out in body or spirit. The ones caring for aging parents. The ones working too many hours. The ones who are just tired of being strong. Give them deep rest.
Help me rest without feeling like I need to earn it first.
Let me move through this day at your pace instead of mine, and find that it's enough. Amen.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
