Rest for the Weary

Good morning, beloved!

The weekend is often a time we look forward to resting from the busy pace of the week. But beyond physical rest, God invites us into something deeper—spiritual rest in Him. True peace isn’t found in sleeping in or slowing down; it’s found in laying our burdens at the feet of Jesus.

✝️ Verse of the Day“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”— Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

Jesus doesn’t just offer us relief—He offers us restoration.

Rest is not idleness—it is trust.

Saturday Reflection: Finding Rest in Christ

You don’t have to carry it all. Whatever weighs heavy on your heart today, hand it over to the Lord. His shoulders are strong enough to bear every burden.

The deepest rest is found in His presence.

Saturday Prayer:Lord, thank You for inviting me to rest in You. Help me to release my worries and find peace in Your promises. Refresh my soul today, and remind me that true rest is found in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Today’s Challenge:Take at least 10 minutes of quiet time today to sit with the Lord, away from distractions, and let Him restore your soul.

May this Saturday be filled with peace, joy, and the sweet rest only Christ can give.
