Sanctified Steps: Come Unto Me| Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

 

Come Unto Me| Matthew 11:28

📖 Scripture:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”— Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

---

Devotional:

Some days, the most faithful step
is simply admitting that you are tired.

Not weak.
Not failing.
Just weary.

Jesus does not ask us to push harder
when our strength is gone.
He invites us to come closer.

Rest is not a reward for finishing everything.
It is a gift offered in the middle of the load.

Tonight, let go of what can wait.
Let your soul exhale.
God is not disappointed in your pause—
He is present in it.

Reflection:

• What has been weighing on you today?
• Are you allowing yourself permission to rest?
• What would it look like to bring your weariness to God tonight?

Daily Wisdom Insight:

Rest is not quitting—it is trusting God to carry what you cannot.

Practical Application:

Tonight, release the need to do more.

Take a deep breath.
Lay down one worry.
Whisper this simple prayer:

“Lord, I give You my tiredness.”

Then rest.

Prayer:

Father,

Thank You for meeting me
not only in my strength,
but in my weariness.

When I am tired,
be my rest.

Quiet my mind,
steady my heart,
and restore my soul.

I place this day in Your hands.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
