Day 3

Listen to Today’s Reading:

What do you run to when you’re feeling stressed? Life can be stressful and overwhelming. We all want to escape the pressure sometimes. I hope the next 10 minutes helps you take a deep breath.

Today’s Passage: Matthew 11:28–30

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Jesus knew that life would be hard, and we would struggle to carry it all. But this verse tells us that we were never meant to carry it alone. Jesus says for us to come to him. He wants to help us carry our burdens.

Reflect: Are you carrying a burden? What is bringing you relief? Are you trying to carry everything alone?

Pray: Tell Jesus all about the stress and pressure that you feel. Describe the burdens you’re carrying and ask him to help you.
