Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly. Matthew 11:28-30
Lay down my burden. Give them to Jesus. He wants my troubles, my worries, my anxious thoughts, every struggle that I have ever dealt with. He want to be a part of them. He can and will bring me through them. For me, I often try to carry the full weight of whatever I’m walking through personally. I like to think I can handle it all on my own. But I can’t. Why carry all the bags yourself when I have a Friend who loves me and is always there to help carry them with me!
The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14
