Today’s Passage

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” -Matthew 11:28-30

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father,
You invite me to come to You when I’m tired,
When I’m worn out, when I’m burned out,
When I’m just trying to make it through another day.
In exchange, You promise me rest,
true rest for my soul.
Help me to find that rest in You today.
Teach me to walk at Your pace.
Show me how to follow Your lead.
Remind me of Your character,
of Your gentleness and kindness,
of Your humility and meekness.
You are endlessly good to me.
Today, I bring my heavy burdens
and exchange them for Your light ones instead.
Even as I work, give me rest.
