You’re not alone. Some people today carry heavy burdens, whether from stress, worry, or the pressures of daily life. In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus speaks directly to those who feel overwhelmed. He invites anyone who is weary and weighed down to come to Him for rest. This is not a rest from every difficulty, but a deep peace for the soul.

Jesus asks us to take His yoke, a symbol of partnership and guidance. By doing so, we walk with Him and learn from His example of gentleness and humility. He assures us that the load He places on us is not crushing, and the path He leads us on does not bring hopelessness.

Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

Psalm 55:22
