There are times in our lives when we become weary and worn. Life’s problems can weigh us down, take away our strength, and leave us depleted. I find that even I am weary at times and need God’s strength to renew me. Sometimes we believers think that we are supposed to appear as if we are strong at all times. But we are human, and when we acknowledge our weaknesses and our weariness, God will renew our strength. In Matthew 11:28, we find these words:

“Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.’”

The invitation was given to all who were burdened. Those who have a heavy yoke placed upon them can find relief, for the Master said He would give rest. He can remove our burdens because He is a burden bearer. It is my prayer today that we will allow Jesus to lift our burdens and renew our strength.
