How do I find rest when I'm overwhelmed?

How do I find rest when I'm overwhelmed? - Fountain of Grace International

The days are long, your to-do list is endless, and the weight of the world feels too much to carry. It's like no amount of sleep can truly recharge you. You're not alone in this. Many are feeling overwhelmed too. But here’s the good news: Jesus offers a rest that goes beyond physical tiredness.

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

- Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

Today, take five minutes in the middle of your day to sit quietly. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Whisper this verse to yourself, and let its promise fill your spirit with peace.

What burdens am I carrying that I need to hand over to Jesus?

Lord, I'm tired and overwhelmed. Thank you for offering me rest. Help me to trust you with my burdens today, and find true peace in your presence. Amen.
