Jesus’ offer in Matthew 11 is truly an offer worth taking. Please note–the peace/rest we receive by growing closer to Him isn’t instantaneous; it is cultivated through a consistent relationship with him.
Spending time with Him each morning while answering the three questions below and following through on them is a great way to cultivate your relationship with Christ on a daily basis.
Journal your thoughts:
What am I grateful for today?
In what way(s) will I bring light to the world today?
What will I deny myself so I may draw closer to God and gain more peace in my life today?
Prayer:
God, I offer myself to Thee—To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always! Amen. (Third Step Prayer – Chapter 5, pg.63, The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous)
