Find Rest

Find Rest
Today's Scripture
“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:29).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Sometimes the pressures of life can cause unnecessary stress. So many people these days lose sleep worrying about things or people in their lives. But God wants us to live a life of rest and peace. When Jesus walked on this earth, He took time for Himself. He got away from the crowds. He spent time with the Father. He found rest. He was gentle and humble in heart. Do you ever notice that when you are stressed out or worrying about something, you’re less tolerant of the people around you? You’re more likely to say something you don’t really mean. But God wants you to cast your cares on Him so that you can live with a gentle and humble attitude toward others. When you learn to release your burdens and follow the example that Jesus gave, you will find rest for your soul. You will be rejuvenated and refreshed. You will find peace in your heart, and you will move forward in the abundant life God has for you!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, today I choose to cast my cares on You. Teach me, Holy Spirit, to have a gentle and humble attitude. Help me find rest for my soul so that I can love others the way You love me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Stay Focused andBlessed.........................Jan
