The temptation to think that if we just work a little bit harder, if we just hold on a little bit tighter or keep control a little bit better, we will save ourselves. Sometimes the teaching we need to hear is rest. Let God be God, don’t try to take that job on for yourself. Rest in Christ, be honest with your weariness and trust that God will carry you through.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11
