As Jesus said, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28).

Heavenly Father, I come to You today weary and heavy-laden. The demands of this world leave me feeling drained and restless. But You promise true, lasting rest for my soul. Help me to stop striving and simply abide in Your presence. Teach me to cast my burdens upon You, for You care for me. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus' name, Amen.
