"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-29)
Between worldly worries, juggling Church responsibilities, and managing societal expectations, many Latter-day Saints are tired. They are weary from constantly striving to work hard enough, be good enough, feel worthy enough. But it is important to remember that the Lord has promised us His rest, not only in the next life, but in this one. All we have to do is stop striving alone for a moment and reach for our Savior's outstretched hand.
In Aren't You Tired, author Jaci Wightman walks you through how to embrace the Lord's rest in your daily life. Discover how to:
- Identify the roadblocks that keep you stuck in unnecessary busyness.
- Shift your belief from a performance-based paradigm to a new covenant mentality.
- Embrace Christ's call to enter His rest, "which rest is the fulness of His glory" (D&C 84:24).
The glorious fulness of the Lord awaits you. And it brings not only stress-calming, mind-soothing rest, but also an unbelievably bright, radiant, joy-filled, soul-expanding, laughter-bringing happiness that will truly take your breath away.
Perhaps it's time to learn how easy and light our Savior's yoke can truly be.
