All who are weary

"Come to me, all you who are weary 
and burdened and I will give you
rest"
Matthew 11:28

I feel like so often we come across verses or passages in the Bible and we think to ourselves “Oh, this’s a nice verse”. I so often say to that I will rely on God’s strength, yet I hardly ever do. It is like some many biblical truths I will say how great that is but I don’t actually believe them in my heart and in time of struggles I don’t draw on these biblical truths. It was yesterday that I really learned the value of what this says. 
I had hardly slept at all because I had horrible nightmares so I woke up yesterday feeling like I had hardly slept and I was just so overwhelmed by the amount of work that I needed to get. I just felt like hiding under a rock for a few days. One of my friends told me to go look up Matthew 11:28. When I read it I just felt just a peace that I haven’t felt before reading that. I realized that I’m not alone in this world I have Jesus to help me with all these things, this isn’t my burden to carry alone. With help from God I can do all the things I need to do. 
I can find my rest in Jesus.
