READ: PSALM 116:1-7; MATTHEW 11:28-30
Lord, I need Your help
Come
I don’t know where else to go
Come to me
I’m so tired
All who are weary
This burden is more than I can handle
All who are burdened
Can You help me?
And I will give you rest
I want to believe You can
I will give you rest
I trust You now, take this burden from me
I will give you rest
I lean on You, my Savior
I will give you rest. • Eliana Canfield
• Today’s poem is based on Jesus’s words in Matthew 11:28. Jesus has made the way for us to enter God’s rest by dying on the cross and rising from the grave for us. If we’ve put our trust in Jesus, we can rest in God’s love and be free from striving. We also have the Holy Spirit as our Helper, who reminds us of Jesus’s words and helps us rest in Him (John 14:26). How might it be comforting to know that, whenever we need help and rest, God is pleased to give us these things?
• In what ways do you need help and rest today? Consider taking a moment to ponder Jesus’s invitation in Matthew 11:28-30, and then talk to Him about anything that’s weighing on you.
