All who are weary and carrying heavy burdens
September 10, 2024
Today I prayed :Lectio Divina with this scripture passage on Hallow.
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
“This is why we pray Lectio Divina — to become better listeners of the Lord. When it feels like we can’t say the right thing in prayer, turn to Lectio Divina. Simply open the Bible to a passage, or select a meditation in Hallow, and try to listen well. In doing this, we might hear more clearly what God is asking of us — opening ourselves to peace, gratitude, and living rooted in Christ.”
The first time I listened to this scripture today I heard the word, “Burdens.”
With my upcoming procedure, I thought that word was accurate.
However. the second time I listened I heard something different.
The words,
“Come to Me.”
Come to Me with your burdens.
Come to Me at the Cross.
Come to Me with your heart.
Coming to Jesus and laying down my burdens at the foot of the Cross, gives my heart peace.
Listening to His word will always direct our hearts.
Come, Jesus, take this heart of mine and draw me close to You.
