Turning To Jesus When We Feel Weary

Sometimes we get tired and weary.  There are times we seek rest, but not just any rest will do.  We must find our rest in the Lord Jesus Christ first and foremost.  We must come to the Lord by faith and trust in His grace.  The Lord knows how weary we get at times with life.

We all face troubles and we all carry some burden in our hearts.  The Lord wants us to place our burdens upon Him because He cares for us.  The Lord is our rock and our solid foundation on which our faith is built.  The Lord loves us so very much and HE demonstrated His great love for us by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross for our sins.

No matter what comes against us in this life and no matter how weary we feel we can trust that the Lord is good and He is always with us and He will never leave us.  We don't have to walk through this life on our own because we believers in Jesus Christ have the Lord with us each step of the way no matter what challenges come our way.

I like what Psalm 62 says,

"1 Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. 
                                                                                                       

2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

3 How long will you assault me? Would all of you throw me down— this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

4 Surely they intend to topple me from my lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

7 My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

8 Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

9 Surely the lowborn are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie. If weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.

10 Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

11 One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God,

12 and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”

               

When life gets us down and we feel tired and weary we must turn to the Lord.  We can find rest in His loving presence.  He wants us to turn to Him as a child turns to their parent.  Our God won't turn us away if we are seeking Him by faith and if we have received Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

The Lord Jesus urges us to come to Him and find rest for our weary souls (Matthew 11:28-30).  God is our rock and our salvation comes from Him.  God is an awesome God and we ought to rejoice in Him for all that He has done for us.

When we feel weary and we feel life we just can't go on lets turn to the Lord and seek Him afresh.  Lets remember that all things are possible with the Lord our God and He loves us with a great everlasting love.

Lord,
We praise Your Holy Name!
Help us O Lord when we are weary and tired.
Grant us strength and revive us again.
Holy Spirit refresh our faith with fresh power.
Help us to turn to You O Lord.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
