Rest For the Weary

Matthew 11:28-30
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.

When we become emotionless and fixed in our souls bound by inward self controlling thought process, brought about our trials or sufferings we will lose site of who is in control of our bodies and souls. Then seeking God becomes harder and harder and the loneliness becomes greater and greater the compassion, love, and desire seems to be moving further and further away, like looking in a rear view mirror and our lives and hearts seem to be moving slowly away from us. Though we may feel unworthy and God is disappointed in us, that is a lie. God tells us to come to him that he is gentle and humble in heart.

1 Peter 5:8-11
Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

O God, I come to you now and ask you lord that you would deliver us who are weary and burdened in our body and souls, because God we know you are our hope. Amen.
