Morning Prayer for Today – I Receive Rest

Lord Jesus,

Thank you for giving me eternal life through faith in your sacrifice on the Cross. 

I have no reason to fear anyone or anything anymore because I am a child of God, an heir to the glorious inheritance of Heaven.

Your Word says in Matthew 11:28-30:

“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 

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. 

For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light.”

Lord Jesus, I come to you with every burden this season which weighs me down – personal, family, health, finances, and others.

I ask for your rest on all sides this year. In place of every fear and anxiety, let peace reign completely.

Your Word says in 1Peter 5:7:

Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares about you.

I trust your Word and confess that I will not entertain anxiety or worry in my life like I used to.

I trade all my sorrows, stress, heartaches, and plans for your joy and peace. I am persuaded that you are in complete control.

Let me always live in this steady assurance of your power and inspire those who need peace around me.

Thank you, Jesus, for answering me today.

In your name, I pray.

Amen.
