Prayer

Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest'—an invitation to pray honestly about what's weighing you down.

Father, I'm tired. This weight I'm carrying has been heavy for longer than I want to admit, and I'm worn down in ways I can't fix alone. You see what burdens me—the fears, the responsibilities, the grief, the pressure. I want to believe You mean what You said about rest, but I'm scared of letting go. Help me trust that You're strong enough to carry what I cannot. Take this from me, and give me the peace You promised. In Jesus' name, Amen.
