A Prayer to Receive Help from Our Gentle Partner by Christie Thomas

In Matthew 11, Jesus doesn't hand us a yoke and say "get to work." He steps in beside us, already wearing it, and says, "walk with me."When we're weary and burdened, we don't have the bandwidth to be gentle, patient, or present for the people who need us most. But we don't have to white-knuckle it alone.In this episode, we're sitting with Matthew 11:28-30 and exploring what it really looks like to give Jesus your burdens — and let him actually carry them.

Reference: Matthew 11:28-30

Prayer: Jesus, forgive me for trying to carry all my burdens on my own, instead of letting You help me. I give You the burden of my sin and the other things that weigh me down and I choose to let You help me with these burdens. Thank You for being my Helper and for Your easy and light burden. In Jesus’s name, amen.
