A call for weary people to rest in Christ

In our fast-paced world filled with pressure and responsibility, many feel drained—physically, emotionally and spiritually. From family struggles to financial stress, internal battles with temptation, and the enemy’s relentless attacks, weariness is all too common. But in the midst of this heaviness, Jesus offers a powerful invitation: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28, KJV).

The Bible is full of weary people. Moses cried out under the weight of leadership. Hannah wept bitterly over her inability to bear children. David confessed to flooding his bed with tears. Jeremiah mourned for his people. Elijah, after a great victory, collapsed in fear and exhaustion.

These stories show that weariness isn’t failure— it’s part of being human. Jesus knows our weaknesses and understands our burdens: life’s pressures, spiritual struggles, and attacks from the enemy.
