Come
to Me and I Will Give You Rest
"Come
to Me, all you 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." (1)
"Rest
in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because
of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings
wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.
Do not fret, it only causes harm." (2)
"For
thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: 'In returning
and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall
be your strength.' " (3)
"There
remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who
has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works
as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter
that rest." (4)
