Day 1 of 21
You are invited
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28 (WEB)
Reflect
Jesus does not address the strong or the put-together here. He calls out to those who labor and carry heavy loads. If that describes you, the invitation is simply to come. You do not need the right words or a clear head. Rest, in his hands, is not a reward for finishing everything; it is something he offers to the tired right in the middle of it.
Pray
Jesus, I am tired, and some of what I carry is too heavy for me. I come to you now without polish or pretense. Grant my weary heart rest, and teach me to keep coming back to you. Amen.
Today's step
Set a two-minute timer and simply tell God how you really are today.
