Prepare your heart to hear from God. Try a simple prayer like this…
Heavenly Father, please help me understand this Bible verse.
…and then read the Verse For Today.
Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
2. Reflect.
Ask yourself what this verse might be trying to say, and think deeply on your answers. Here are just a few examples we might get from today’s verse........Jesus expects me to share my faith with other people.
When I demonstrate God’s love, that draws others to Him.
I should work to remove things from my life that don’t show God’s love.
It is often through challenges that God grows my capacity to love others.
I believe God is asking me to remove things from my life that are too heavy for me too carry. Things that are becoming a burden.
3. Respond.
Use this verse as the basis for a prayer.
Dear Lord you are a good good father and you do not want your children to be burden with the things of this world. So I ask you to put Jesus's yoke upon me so that I may learn His ways. Because I am weary Lord and I do want to find rest...Amen..
