Scripture:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
– Matthew 11:28-29
To what or whom are you yoked? Sometimes we allow ourselves to be weary and burdened when we do not need to be. At times we try to be “in control,” living a life of self-sufficiency, forgetting who we should be yoked to. Jesus says, “Come to Me”.
Prayer: Jesus, I choose to be yoked to You. Help me learn from You and find rest for my soul. Thank You for the forgiveness You have given me, for Your help and guidance and Your gentle ways.
Petition: For the children who will attend Vacation Bible School next week. That they will feel God’s love and protection and be drawn into a relationship with Him.
