Matthew 11:28–29 (NIV) “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.” Father God, We come to You today not striving, not proving, not carrying what was never meant for us to hold alone. We release the weight of pressure, expectations, and self-imposed burdens. Teach us how to rest without guilt and trust without fear. Align our hearts with Your rhythm. Quiet our minds. Settle our bodies. Restore our souls. Help us discern what to carry and what to lay down. We choose obedience over overexertion, peace over performance, and grace over grind. Today, we receive Your rest, not as an escape, but as strength. In Jesus’ name, amen.
