Rest

1 Min Read
    “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,” (Matthew 11:28 Holy Bible New King James). At the end of a workday, are you too weary to walk to the bus stop? Maybe you have to sit in your vehicle in the parking lot for a few minutes before battling your way home on crowded highways. If you’re a stay-at-home parent, you aren’t exempt from stress. Jesus understands your circumstances. He invites all of us to find rest in Him.
    Prayer: Lord, daily routine pushes me beyond my endurance level. Only in You can I find rest. Amen.

“And He said to them, ‘Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.’ For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat,” (Mark 6:31, Holy Bible, New King James). Ever have times when you are inundated with responsibilities? People pressing too close or getting in your way? Jesus, speaking to His disciples, suggested they retreat away from the crowds. If you can’t take a isolated vacation, try a day trip, a stroll through a local park, a few minutes in backyard solitude. These will be retreats if you take Jesus with you.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I need time away from people in my everyday routine. Until then, I’m meditating on You and basking in Your presence for a refreshing retreat. Amen.
