“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

There are days when you wake up already tired — not the kind of tired sleep can fix, but the kind that sits deep in your chest.
The kind where you lie still for a moment because standing up feels like a mountain.
The kind where even your heartbeat feels heavy.

Maybe today you’re moving through the world on autopilot — doing what you need to do, answering people, holding everything together — but inside, you’re drained.
You’re carrying things no one knows about.
You’re trying to be strong, but something inside you whispers:

“Jesus, I don’t know how much longer I can do this.”

If that’s you, you’re not alone.
You’re not weak.
You’re not failing.
You’re just tired — deeply, humanly tired.

And Jesus is not asking you to force a smile or pretend you’re okay.
He isn’t asking you to power through your exhaustion like nothing is wrong.
He’s simply saying:

Come.

Come with the thoughts that won’t quiet down.
Come with the fear you can’t shake.
Come with the stress that has been sitting on your shoulders for too long.
Come with the prayer you’ve repeated so many times it feels worn out.

You don’t have to be strong right now.
You don’t need perfect words.
You don’t have to act like you’re not falling apart inside.

Just come — tired, overwhelmed, stretched thin.
Let Jesus hold what you’ve been carrying alone.
Let Him give you the rest you’ve been craving but couldn’t find on your own.
Let Him meet you exactly where you are… even in the messy, exhausted parts.

If today feels too heavy, take this as your sign:
You don’t have to carry it alone anymore
