God Provides Rest For The Weary

Have you ever experienced something extremely devastating in your life?  Or perhaps you suddenly received some difficult news that momentarily seemed to knock the wind out of you. Have you ever wondered if God provides rest for the weary? If you can relate to these situations then you know the importance of leaning on the strong arms of the Lord.  Matthew 11:28 says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”   This scripture is a reality that points us to the place where we can lay our heads and breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Taking our problems to the Lord in prayer is the place that we can go to receive real answers to life’s problems and receive supernatural peace.  I encourage you to let the Lord be your first place of comfort.  Run to Him in your hours of sadness, weariness, confusion, or whatever the burden may be.  Your shoulders are much too small to carry the weight of heavy burdens.  Make a resolve to go to Jesus first.  He has exactly what you need.

Reflections

1.      What do you do when the issues of life try to speak louder than the promises of God?

2.     What adverse situation(s) can you think of that are no longer a problem for you?

3.     How did you make it through those difficult times?

God Bless,
