Rest awhile and be consoled

Rest Awhile and Be Consoled
Pray over words of Christ and Scripture.

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.

Matthew 11:28-30 (RSV)
