Rest for the Weary

Are you mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted? If so, there’s good news.

Jesus makes it clear that He wants to give you rest in spite of the fact that we live in a fast-paced society that rejects rest.

Matthew 11:28-29 reads: “Come to Me, all of 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.”

Often, we’re compelled to always be “on,” keep going, and never rest. We’re constantly staying busy, efficient, and productive. And even if we’re not physically doing something, our thoughts are still very active. In other words, even when we’re trying to rest, we’re not truly resting because our minds haven’t stopped.
