10 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING

Day 1 : LAY YOUR BURDEN DOWN

BIBLE

 ‘Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. ‘ Matthew 11:28

REFLECT

The start of a new year often brings a flurry of activity, leaving us feeling like Martha, busy and distracted. Yet, Jesus invites us to embrace the Mary choice: to simply sit at His feet. This sacred space is where all the accumulated burdens of the past year – the anxieties, the regrets, the heavy “doing” – can be safely laid down. At Jesus’ feet, we stop performing and start engaging with the One who offers true rest.

PRAYER FOCUS

Today is an invitation to an intimate meeting with Jesus.

  • Acknowledge and transfer: Bring every burden that has followed you into this new year and actively commit it to Him. Jesus already knows what they are, and He desires to journey with you through those challenges.
  • Pray with gratitude: Let your prayer be a thankful reflection as you commit your heavy load before the Lord.
  • Yielding to Rest: Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you what it means to truly rest in Him, not just work for Him.
