The Rest Your Soul Longs For | Your Nightly Prayer

We live in a world that never stops moving—rushing from one task to the next, burdened by expectations, pressure, and noise.

We live in a world that never stops moving—rushing from one task to the next, burdened by expectations, pressure, and noise. But Jesus offers something different: soul rest. The kind of deep, lasting rest that doesn’t depend on circumstances, but on His presence. 📖 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 📖 “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.” — Isaiah 30:15 In this prayer, we quiet the striving, surrender the stress, and receive the gentle invitation of Jesus. His rest isn’t earned—it’s given. It’s not a reward for finishing your to-do list; it’s a gift for those willing to lay their burdens down.
