👋 Good morning, friends!

As we begin this day, let's embrace a promise of rest and peace from our Savior. Today's focus is on Matthew 11:28:

Verse of the Day

Each day, we carry different kinds of burdens—pressures at work, family responsibilities, health concerns, or even the weight of past mistakes. These burdens can be exhausting, draining the joy from our lives. Yet, Jesus extends to us an extraordinary invitation: come, and find rest.

This isn't an ordinary rest—it's not about just getting more sleep or taking a vacation. This is a spiritual rest, a rest that goes to the depths of our souls, bringing peace to our troubled minds and hearts. It's a rest that refreshes, rejuvenates, and restores, no matter what we are going through.

Jesus invites us to find this rest in Him. When we bring our burdens to Him, He doesn't just help us carry them; He lifts them off completely, replacing them with His peace. So, today, respond to His call. Come to Him, lay down your burdens, and find the rest that your soul longs for.

Read Matthew 11 in full for context.

Prayer of the Day

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your unfailing love and grace. As I embark on today's journey, when I feel tired or burdened, remind me of Your promise to provide rest and peace. Teach me to surrender my burdens to You, trusting that You will carry them for me.

Help me to depend not on my own strength but on Yours. Fill my heart with Your peace and my spirit with Your joy. Use me as a vessel of Your love and a beacon of Your light to those around me. May my actions today glorify You.

In the precious name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

"God knows what you will need a week from now, a month from now, even ten years from now. And the good news is He’s already taking care of you."

— Joel Osteen

A Christian newsletter we highly recommend

A group of Christian millennials think they’ve fixed the news…

It’s called The Pour Over, and it has two goals:

1. Keep its readers informed about world events

2. Keep its readers focused on Christ

That means providing politically neutral coverage of events and pairing it with brief Biblical reminders.

The question is… are they hitting the mark? See what you think, subscribe in just one click.
