Come to Me,

all who labor and

are heavy laden,

and I will

       give you rest.

Take My yoke

upon you,

and learn from Me,

for I am gentle and

lowly in heart,

and you will find

   rest for your souls.

For My yoke is easy,

and My burden

           is light.

   Matthew 11. 28-30

(Jesus says,

    "Come to Me,"

leave your baggage

and accomplishments

and lack of control,

and failures,

and heavy hearts.

"Let Me embrace you,

let Me help you,

     walk with Me."

God never intended

for us to go it alone.

God never promised

life would be easy

   in this broken world,

but "Fear not. 

I am with you.

Come to Me."

Even with this.

What is Your way

in this, O LORD?

     With Me.)

O LORD,

We tend to blame

circumstances

         or others,

for our troubles,

when all along it is

our hearts

that are burdened

and out of alignment.

Help us to know

we are not alone,

but You love us

more than we can

       imagine.

We are embraced

          by You.

Align our hearts

            with Yours.

Circumstances

    need not change,

but our hearts.
