Are you struggling? Do you feel a tightness in your chest because you are so worried about something? It may be a family member, a relationship, your work, your animals, but there is something that has you so burdened that your heart is heavy.
Even the strongest of us have moments where the burdens of life are just too heavy. It’s then that The Lord whispers to our hearts “Come to me, all you are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” ~Matthew 11:28
Just breathe. And calm down. Remember who has told you that He’s got your back. Remember who said He would give you rest. He didn’t just say that He would make you feel a little bit better. He didn’t just say that some of you can come to me. Nope. He said all you who are weary. He said that He would give you rest. When you are in a restful state, you are not worried about anything. Your body, your mind, your heart and your soul are light. That tells you that He isn’t taking you half-way. He is giving you rest.
I have a situation that I am taking before God for prayer and rest. I am asking that God give me such complete rest that all burdens, sadness and unhappiness are removed from me. God is a powerful God. And prayer is the most powerful force in the Universe for us. God gave us prayer and I use it. I thank You, God, in advance for my rest.
If you would like for us to pray for you or a family member, please leave a comment. If you want to keep your request private, but want us to pray, just type “Unspoken”.
Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!

Please pray for my niece, Janet, that she may find rest in the Lord; and for me, as I share her anxieties and worries in my own life, yet try to witness to her and encourage her (and myself) to seek rest in the Lord.
I pray that God will bring healing to my son, who is battling stage 4 lung cancer.
I am praying for your son.
