VERSE OF THE DAY

Friday

Matthew 11:28  [Jesus said,] "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." 

At the end of the year, it sure is nice to be invited to rest in Jesus.   So before we begin a new year, let's pause and place our hopes, our future, our dreams, and especially our burdens down at His feet and let Him give us rest.

PRAYER ...

Teach me, O God, to learn to rest in Your grace and providence more and to worry less.  I want to surrender my burdens to Jesus and let Him teach me His way and how to find His rest. Sometimes I am so tired and weary I don't think I can continue, so please, dear Father, let me find rest in Jesus. Through whom I offer this prayer. Amen.
