Choosing Rest Over Stress
Choosing Rest Over Stress
Matthew 11:28 — “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
We live in a world weighed down by stress, worry, and weariness. From the pressures of daily life to the struggles we face in our faith, the burdens can feel overwhelming. Yet in the midst of it all, Jesus offers a simple, powerful invitation: “Come to Me…and I will give you rest.”
In this message, we’ll explore how Christ provides true rest—not just relief from physical exhaustion, but peace for our souls. We’ll look at how stress can either build us up or break us down, and how we can choose rest over stress by:
- Gaining God’s perspective on life’s challenges
- Living with purpose and in the present
- Making space for rest, as God intended
- Drawing daily strength from time with the Lord
Don’t let unnecessary burdens steal your joy. Come to Jesus, and discover the rest your heart is longing for.
