This 8 hour Christian meditation based on Matthew 11:28 reminds us that true rest is found when we give over our worries and concerns to the Lord and He in return gives us rest. The Lord never sleeps or slumbers, He's watching over us with love and care and meeting us at our particular point of need. Whatever you need tonight, give it to the Lord in prayer, then rest and sleep. He's in complete control. Photo by Tanya Murphy Music by Narek Mirzaei

Welcome,

You made it here,

And you don't have to carry tonight.

Take a slow breath in and let it out with a sigh.

Again,

Inhale and exhale.

Let your body begin to understand there is nothing to solve right now.

Nothing to prove,

Nothing to rush,

Only rest.

Listen to the words of Jesus,

Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you where I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Let those words settle.

Jesus is gentle.

He welcomes you.

Breathe in Jesus,

I come and breathe out just as I am.

Now imagine laying your burdens down one by one.

Place down pressure,

Place down responsibility,

Place down the need to get it right,

Place down the weight of expectations.

Jesus,

I give you this.

Now feel his gentleness.

His presence is not pushing you,

It's holding you.

Let your shoulders be held,

Let your chest be held,

Let your belly soften,

Let your hands relax.

You are safe with him.

Breathe in,

Your rest is holy.

Breathe out,

Your rest is allowed.

Breathe in,

God restores me.

Breathe out,

I let go.

Good night,

Jesus is near.

Come to me,

All you who are weary and burdened,

And I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you where I am gentle and humble in heart,

And you will find rest for your soul.

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
