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 11:29-30
We want to do what is right
We want to please the Lord
That might mean something else if we are trying too hard
If your life is placed in His hands and He directs your steps,
let Him lead and don’t try so hard
for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep,
and His commands are not burdensome; 1 John 5:3 YLT
If Jesus says don’t fear and you do, don’t try to not fear,
do your best to believe Him
Remember the man who said, I believe, Lord, help thou my unbelief?
And straightway the father of the child cried out,
and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Mark 9:24
He was trying and realized he couldn’t, so he gave his burden to the Lord
The Lord responded and gave him what he needed and healed his son
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Jeremiah 6:16
Don’t be like those people who said, ‘We will not walk therein’
Enjoy the Lord and choose to be in His presence,
like Mary who sat at His feet:
And Jesus answered and said unto her,
Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from her. Luke 10:41-42
Walk in His ways and you will find rest and peace and don’t try so hard
