Day 12 - Rest for the Weary

Matthew 11:25-30

This scripture talks what God has revealed to the young and to the people of this world. It also talks about giving rest to the weary and burdened. God is all powerful and He is very strong. If we rest our burdens on Him, He will make them lighter and easier to handle. The yoke that we carry is easy and the burden is light through Christ Jesus. He will take all things and carry the worst of them. We should not fear, but rather we should believe and trust that God will not give us too much to handle.

I often get stressed and worried about the little things in life. I let work, family, friends, school, and life in general get to me. I take on far too many things, and I find myself stressed out and frustrated. This scripture was important for me to hear. We need to give all stresses and burdens to God, and He will make them easier for us to carry. If we are unable to carry as much as we do, God will take them away and make our lighter and easier to live. Do not worry, God is looking out for us. Do not fret for our burdens will be removed if we only ask.

Dear God, please show me to how to give my burdens to you. Take away my stresses and replace them with the strength needed to do God's will. Show me how to love others, and to not do so in a burdensome way. Amen.
