Matthew 11:28
Jesus said, "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens,  and I will give you rest.

Sometimes life seems to keep slapping us down, no change that, life just keeps knocking us down. You feel it closing in on you and there seems no relief coming...

STOP take a moment, Quiet your mind, body, and spirit, find a way to block out distractions.

Now take a breath, breathe out and ask for, feel and open yourself to Jesus' presence... and pray. As Jesus promises he will give you rest and strength to take on the world that is closing in. God be with you! 

I am an outreach pastor at a small church in Abilene Texas.  Part of the outreach is to write devotionals and mail notes from church members to those who are alone, home disabled or recuperating, inmates, service members, friends, and family.  It has grown and wanted to add my devotionals here.
