Jesus understood the need for rest in one’s life. In His day, not only were the average Jew and Gentile weary from living day to day, people (Mainly Jews) were extremely burdened by attempting to keep all 613 Mosaic Laws of dos and don’ts. Many were heavily burdened trying to be religious. Jesus gave them the answer to overcome their lack of rest and a burdensome religious lifestyle!
Path to Experience Rest 1. Come to Christ 2. Learn from Christ 3. Rest in Christ
Prayer Jesus Christ, I come to you tired of struggling to engage in religious good works in the hope You will accept me and forgive me of my sins. I’m tired of being tired. I’m tired of being full of anxiety and fear. I’m tired of living my life in stressful dependence on myself. Jesus Christ, I want the rest that only You can give me in my life. I come to you broken and in need of spiritual life and rest. Lord Jesus Christ, I believe You died and rose again for the forgiveness of my sins. Forgive me! I humbly come to you, and your Word says You will come into me and will be yoked to me. I desire the rest only You can provide. Use me and live Your Life through me. In Your Precious Name I pray, Amen!
