Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28

Before the day asks anything from you, God speaks something over you. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Rest in God is more than stopping activity; it is releasing the need to carry everything alone. Jesus does not merely admire weary people from a distance. He invites them near.

This passage gives tired hearts permission to lean their full weight on God. Use this verse as the first sentence of your prayer before you move into requests.
