MATTHEW 11:25–30
A man stopped his pickup truck to offer a lift to a woman carrying a heavy load. The woman thanked him and climbed into the back of the truck. The man surprisingly noticed she was still holding onto her load. He asked her to put down her load and relax, as his truck could carry her and her belongings.
We often carry fear, worry, and anxiety during life’s challenges, but instead of relaxing in the Lord, we often behave like a burdened woman. Jesus promised to give rest to those weary and burdened, but we often carry our own burdens.
We are encouraged to surrender our burdens to the Lord, as He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). This allows us to rest and relax, learning to trust Him, and instead of carrying them, we can let Him carry them.
🙏 We bring you our burdens today, Lord Jesus. Please carry them for us.
