Resting in God

Matthew 11:28-30 New King James Version (NKJV)

28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [a]gentle and lowly in heart,and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
