Kingdom Prayer Focus
Father, you tell us in your word that we can exchange our burdens for your peace. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” We love that you take our burdens, and we love your rest. Please forgive us when we put burdens on those who do not know you! We put on them things in that we need to deal with in our own journey with you. These are things that you are working on in OUR lives, not theirs. They have their own journey and paths you want them to take, yet we make demands on their Christian walk that come from our mindset. Open our eyes to just love them and walk beside them. Teach us to love like Jesus, who loved in a scandalous way….amen.
