Burned Out or Exhausted?

Are you tired?  Burned out?  Do you find it hard to find or keep a routine of quiet time?

Well, if you and answered yes to any of the above, keep reading!  

This is the place you can rest, reflect and be encouraged to take a few minutes out of your day to seek His face and learn more of what He’s wanting to do in you and through you.

Matthew 11:28-30  in the Message translation says  "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

I don’t know about you but this scripture helps me breathe.   When I pause to read it, soak in the words and understand what Jesus provides for us when we “walk and work” with Him, it makes each day possible.  

Insights from this scripture for reflection:

  1. How can you “get away” with Jesus on a regular basis?  Not what works for someone else, but what will work for you? 
  2. Jesus says “walk with me and work with me- watch how I do  it.”  How can you “watch” how Jesus walked and worked?  
  3. What might it look like for you to keep company with Him so you can learn to live freely and lightly?
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
