Are you weary and burdened?
Are you weary and
burdened? Sick and tired of all the
difficult situations in your life? Do you often feel that your life has no
meaning? Perhaps a thought of committing suicide has crossed your mind.
You no longer need to feel
like that. Jesus wants to give you rest.
Jesus says, “"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.”
Yes, Jesus can give you rest
like no one else can. He tells you to take His yoke upon you and learn from
Him. He says He is gentle and humble at heart and will give rest to your weary
and burdened soul.
When you come to Jesus, He
won’t place a heavy yoke upon you. Instead He wants you to carry His yoke. Are
you willing to exchange yokes and burdens with Jesus? He has an easy yoke and a
light burden to give instead of the difficult yoke and heavy burden that you
are carrying now.
In Psalms 38, David says, “My
guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.” (Psalms 38:4)
Are you overwhelmed by guilt
regarding some wrong that you have done? Give that guilt to Jesus in prayer and
He will give you rest.
In Psalms 68:19 we see the
Psalmist praising God for carrying his burdens, “Praise be to the Lord, to God
our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.”
Yes, He is a God who daily
bears our burdens.
What are the burdens that you
are carrying alone this day? Give those burdens away to Jesus in prayer. Give
away the difficult yoke that you are carrying this day to Jesus. He will give
you rest.
Pray this prayer to rid
yourself of the difficult yoke and heavy burden that you are carrying and
receive rest from Jesus.
Dear Father In Heaven,
I am weary and burdened this
day. I am carrying a yoke that is difficult and a burden too heavy for myself
to carry. Kindly take this heavy burden and difficult yoke that I am carrying
upon you dear Lord and give me rest. I thank you that you hear my prayer.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
