Carrying burdens alone feels exhausting. Thank you, Jesus, that you bear the load on our behalf.
I love the words of Matthew 28:30-31 (MSG), “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Today’s Detox
Jesus, help me to lean into You. To trust You with the weight I too often attempt to carry on my own. I surrender all to Your loving care today.
Amen
Create alist to represent each burden— in your head, on paper, or out loud.
Invite Him to take the lead. To exchange that which weighs you down with His “rhythm of grace.”
