Today’s Inspiration: “Come to Me (Jesus), all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. One of the greatest struggle in today’s modern world is restlessness. It is due to the stress, anxiety, and fear of the future. Financial, health and relational problems can also cause lots of distress in our daily lives. For sure God doesn’t want us to live in fear but to have faith in Christ. The main issue is that we don’t take our burdens or cast our cares to God in prayer.

It is a worldly saying that God helps those who help themselves. This is a prideful and self dependent mindset rather than a God dependent one. Throughout the Bible God helps all who humbly came to Him because they can’t help themselves and He healed those who people can’t, and also provide for those who people won’t. We serve a Saviour whose love, grace and mercy is far beyond our imagination. Jesus said, “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭29‬-‭30.‬ ‭Would you give your burdens to Jesus daily?

Prayer: O Lord my God, my mind is stressful and my soul is weary with many things. Today I choose to yield to you and surrender my will to you. You hold my future in the palm of your hands and I know I am fully safe and secure in Christ Jesus. I choose not to lean on my strength and understanding but in your rest, mercy, and grace, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
