Little Shepherd edition—come as you are.
Come unto Me
When you feel tired, Jesus says come—not try harder first. Grown-ups can sit longer in Come Unto Me or walk five gentle days in the plan.
Some days feel heavy. Your body is tired. Your heart is tired. Jesus does not say hide it. He says come.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
Coming is like climbing into a safe lap. He gives rest. You do not have to carry everything alone.
Gentle question
What felt heavy today? Can you tell Jesus one short thing?
Short prayer together
Jesus, I come to You tired. Please give me rest. Amen.
