Close to the Brokenhearted: Grow Closer to God After a Breakupಮಾದರಿ

Day 1: Weary and Burdened

A broken heart is draining. Your emotions are fragile, and you’re just trying to make it through each day without falling to pieces. Then, you find yourself carrying the weight of emotional stress, the weight of worry, the weight of memories, and possibly the weight of sin. All this weight is heavy, and it burdens you. It makes you weary, and it makes you feel like you can’t go on. But what if I told you that you can definitely go on? And not just go on, but you can find peace and rest. There is rest waiting for you in the arms of Jesus. If you are weary and burdened, He is calling you to Himself. He is longing to give you rest.

A yoke is what farmers use to tie livestock together, like oxen. In order to go anywhere successfully, they must move synchronously. Jesus is calling you to be yoked to Him. Then, you will be able to move in sync with Him, taking all the right steps. Jesus is full of wisdom, so He’s calling you to learn from Him. Sit at the feet of Jesus, and soak up all the wisdom He is offering you. Read His Word, and let Him speak to you through the Holy Spirit.

Having a broken heart can leave you hurt, broken, and confused. Imagine having peace again, being whole again, and having a sound mind again. The opportunity to learn from Jesus is the opportunity to learn the right way to live that will be pleasing to the Father. It’s an opportunity to make good and right decisions so that you can live your best, blessed life. Don’t miss this opportunity. If you are weary and burdened, He is calling you specifically. He’s telling you that He has something, especially for you. All you have to do is sit at His feet and learn from Him and yoke yourself with Him and go where He leads you. Make the decision today to run to the arms of Jesus, so you can find everything you need.

Declare: I don’t want to be weary and burdened anymore. I am running into the arms of Jesus. I find peace and rest as I sit at the feet of Jesus and learn from Him. I am yoked with Jesus, and I move with Him as He moves. I am on the right path now.
