Reflect on Matthew 11:28-30
“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.” (The Message)
Do I have anything weighing on me now?
What stops me from handing these burdens to Jesus?
Picture in your mind keeping company with Jesus.
What does it feel like to live freely and lightly?
Humble and gentle God,
When our burdens are heavy you promise to give us rest.
Give us rest in your presence so that we can learn your unforced rhythms of grace.
Amen.
Breath Prayer
(inhale) Humble and gentle God
(exhale) you are rest for my soul
