Devotional
So, beloved, it’s certain to say that resting in Jesus does not mean that our problems will magically disappear or that life’s challenges will cease to exist. It means that we no longer bear the weight alone. When Jesus invites us to come to Him, He is not asking us to figure out everything on our own or to find our rest in worldly pleasures. Instead, He is urging us to bring our burdens to Him, to surrender our worries and anxieties, and to place our trust in His loving care.
Key Scripture
Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.(Psalm 116:7 (NIV)
