“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:29

How do you find the possibility of freedom and peace in a world where there seems to be no rest?

The idea that the pace of life seems to continually increase stress and worry is a universal concept. There seems to be no end to the demands on our time and energy. Are you tired of the constant busyness that seems to consume our lives? I know I am!

There is a solution: It isn’t one that offers us escape from the demands of life but one that guarantees rest in the midst of the rat race and the fast pace of life.

Jesus says, “Come to me if you are tired and burdened. I’ll make your load lighter and help you carry your burden.” (My paraphrase)

Jesus offers us rest amidst the stress.

Christ doesn’t always take us out of life’s demanding situations. Instead, He asks us to let HIM show us how to handle life’s demands. Jesus wants us to face each day and each challenge with HIM.

Walk with Jesus Christ daily and trust Him for guidance and wisdom to handle whatever comes next. In this way, you’ll finally experience true rest amidst the stress of life.
