Listen to this daily worship

Matthew 11: 28-30 (NRSVA)

28 ‘Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’

 

This is your red alert warning, slow down. Discipleship is more about rest and expectation. It’s about watching and learning before doing. It’s a life long apprenticeship creating a life of resilience, centred around prayer and compassion. It is not a three year degree course in theology.

The key to resilience is rest and resourcefulness which is brought about by prayer and reflection and expectation. The famous quote by Tennyson “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of,” still rings true for those who have encountered the power of resting in God.

PRAYER:

Let us come to rest in you

Father Son and Holy Spirit

The source of all life
