Cast your burdens onto the Lord.

Verse: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

 

If you’re hanging on by a thread, DON’T GIVE UP. The Lord Jesus is with you, even when your faith falters. Matthew 11:28 invites us to come to Him when we are weary and burdened, promising us rest. This is a profound invitation from Jesus Himself, assuring us that we don’t have to carry our burdens alone. His rest is not just physical, but more importantly, spiritual. Matthew 11:28 is clear if we go to Him with our burdens He will give us peace and comfort. Believe Him, that He is holding you close and will never let you go. Lean on Lord with all your troubles and His peace to fill your heart and give you rest.

 

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for inviting me to come to You with my burdens. I am weary, but I trust in Your promise of rest. Help me to lay my troubles at Your feet and to find peace in Your presence. Strengthen my faith and guide me through each day. Amen.

 

Daily Power-Up: Take a few minutes to read and meditate on these verses. Rest in what God is saying and believe in His promises for you.

 

  • Old Testament: Psalm 55:22 – “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.”
  • Gospels: John 16:33 – “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
  • Paul’s Letters: 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
