“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” Matthew 11:28-30, Berean Study Bible.
One morning, I woke up and began to pray. After a few thank you, Lord, for this and that, God did what He always does. He wanted to know what was really going on within me. I said, Father, my mind feels all cluttered and burdened down. I need you to lift all of this off of me. A few minutes later, I began to sing, and my singing turned into worship and praise, and just like that, all of the burdens and heaviness I was feeling were completely gone. God answered my prayer.
This is the benefit of getting real with God in prayer, my sister. It makes no sense for us to come to God and leave His presence still weighed down with cares and responsibilities of life. So He calls to us to come to Him, not just to thank Him, not just to tell Him how powerful and mighty He is, but to receive the rest Jesus came to give us.
My sister, the Lord cares about you, and He wants to give you rest in eternity and rest in your life right now. Not a power nap! But rest in your soul, which is your mind, will, and your emotions. Rest in the core of who you are. He is calling us to a divine rest that is not just for a moment but for life. How we receive this is by coming to Him and being real with Him. We will leave His presence lighter and at peace.
Prayer: Father, I come to you, and I ask that you lift these burdens off of my mind. Lift this clutter off of me. I feel weighed down, and I give it to you. I pray you put a song in my heart to sing. Thank you for reminding me that you care about me. You are calling me to live in your divine and sweet rest. I receive and accept your call. I give everything I am to you. All I’ve been carrying, you can take it from here. I trust you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

This message is just what I needed to know. Every morning, I wake up with a heavy heart. The what-if thoughts consume me each day.

He did. Thank you so much for this!
