When it feels like there is too much to handle, Jesus offers rest if we will come to him. But how do we do that?
Sometimes life just seems to serve up difficulty after difficulty. We're busy dealing with one crisis when the next one comes crashing in. In those difficult times when it feels like there is too much to handle, Jesus offers rest if we come to him.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
But how do we do that? How do we come to him?
Read the Bible
The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) tell us quite a bit about who Jesus is and how he cares about people.
Pray
Jesus invites us into relationship with him. We can talk to him through prayer.
Not sure how to start? Here's a simple prayer to try:
Jesus, I want to know you better. When I read about you in the Bible, please reveal yourself to me. Please give me the strength I need and the rest I need. And help me learn to live a life that is pleasing to you.
