Have you ever just stopped and watched people in a busy area? Have you noticed the stress and the weariness? How about a day care center at the end of its day. Have you seen the parents already wearied by their day at work picking up wearied children?
Matt. 11: 28 – 30
” Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
How often have you felt so weighed down and wearied by life? How often do we forget to take our weariness and heaviness to the One who promised His burden would be light; to the One who promised us rest?
Take just a few minutes right now to breathe in deeply, close your eyes, slow down the racing mind and the pounding pulse. Just think about Him: the lover of your soul, the One who knows you and loves you, who has good plans for you and not evil.

Rest in those saving arms and breathe deeply His scent of love. Find the renewal and refreshing that only He can give.
And do one more thing:
“Cast all your anxiety on him for he cares for you.” I Peter 5:7
I can think of many a morning when I woke up and felt like I was running from one end of the house to the other, that the kids seem to have gone from one to six, the dog suddenly forgot how to be housebroken and the trash can kept being overfloweth but never emptieth.
Or think of a morning when you barely had coffee and EVERYTHING seemed to go wrong. By the time night rolled around, you said a quick thank you to God as you crawled into bed, curled up around a pillow and fell asleep BEFORE your head hit the pillow.
Translate that to the work world where the desk seems piled high with paper, the boss just doesn’t seem to be happy no matter what and the deadline went from next month to the end of the day. In the midst of it all, it’s easy to suddenly feel like you’ve lost control and the clock is out to get you.
The same goes for the day to day grind of daily living. Yet, rather than making it a day to day grind, God is there in the midst of the storm. His hands are outstretched, calming the turbulent sea that we are are, whether it is man-made or natural.
