Have you ever hit that kind of tired where even resting feels like work? Your body finally stops moving, but your mind just keeps going? You scroll as an escape, but then you start thinking, and your thinking turns into worry — and somehow you end up more drained than before.
Maybe you’ve said, “I’ll rest when things slow down.”
What if Jesus is saying the opposite? What if rest isn’t the reward for getting everything done — what if it’s actually the way forward?
Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
He doesn’t say, “finish your to-do list, or find rest on your own.”
He just says, come.
So maybe today, rest is closer than you think. Maybe rest starts by doing this one thing — coming to Jesus. Take this ONE thought with you today: when you come to Him, rest finds you.
And if you want to slow down for a moment, pray this with us…
