Are you tired and carrying a lot of anxiety and heavy burden stuff? Jesus wants to come along side of us and help us. How? By teaching us to be like Him…humble, with a gentle heart that He will comfort, strengthen, and provide much needed rest. Rest for the weary. How often have you wished for that?
 |
| Take this yoke that Jesus offers. He will take your cares and sorrows... your burdens. Find rest for your soul. |
We are
helpless…but not hopeless. Even in the Old Testament, Jesus offered compassion
and the assurance that He would not abandon those who searched for Him.
Likewise, Jesus helps us, if we ask for His help, compassion, comfort,
strength, peace, protection, rest…whatever. The list is endless. He has the
power to provide…and His love never gives up on us, never ends. Can you stress
less and trust Him more today than yesterday?
The
faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his
faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, "The
LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!" The LORD is good
to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. So it is good to wait
quietly for salvation from the LORD. And it is good for people to submit at an
early age to the yoke of his discipline: Let them sit alone in silence beneath
the LORD's demands. ... For no one is abandoned by the Lord forever. Though he
brings grief, he also shows compassion because of the greatness of his
unfailing love. Lamentations
3:22-28, 31-32
Prayer
– LORD, Your mercies are new every morning. Please continue to give hope, help,
comfort, and strength to those seeking that from You. In Your mercy grant Your
peace to friends and family who have trusted You for so many years…and now are
facing that Valley of the Shadow of Death. They have put their trust in You, so
please take away the chaos and confusion in their lives now. May they feel Your
very presence as You comfort and strengthen them, as only You can.
Meditate.
Remember that God has promised to not leave or abandon you.
Verses
leading to Salvation ~ We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and
trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops
strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of
salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how
dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts
with his love. When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right
time and died for us sinners. Romans 5:3-6
