I long for the stillness and peace that only Your presence can provide. In my weakness, I realize my need for Your strength. The responsibilities, troubles, and challenges of life often feel overwhelming. My heart is heavy with the burdens I carry.
Yet, in this moment of weakness, I recall Your words of comfort, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” As I bring my burdens to You, Lord, I am reminded that You alone can provide the peace and rest that my soul so desperately craves.

I choose to trust in Your unfailing love and sovereignty.
