Are you exhausted? Burned out or just physically drained? You wake up and just yearn for rest and sleep?
Through this recent tiring season I have longed for rest. The Lord was so sweet to give me this encouragement in my time with Him one day, and I pray it encourages you as well.
“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
God reminded me that rest comes from Him. Doesn’t matter how rested up I am or if I slept through the night, if I am not resting in Him I will NEVER find rest for my weary soul.
May we take His yoke upon us today and have teachable hearts to learn from Him and find rest for our weary souls.

These words are in the Anglican liturgy of the eucharist. I hear them every Sunday. I love hearing them. Then he poors out his body for me into my mouth.
Hope you are well.
