A prayer

I just knew I needed to pray the following verses for someone tonight.  I know they need it.  I remember praying them for a fellow runner in high school and just knowing that God was listening.  I'm sure you all know (and maybe it's you) someone that could use these words tonight!

"Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."  Matthew 11:28-30

It is a challenge to remember the difference between the urgent and the important.  It doesn't just have to do with being a parent, it has to do with life.  If our urgent and our important activities are not prioritized right then we will be weary, carrying heavy burdens, and longing for rest.  Once we straighten our selves out and realize that not every task on the list of life is important and that certain things that seem so urgent aren't we will find rest.  We will be able to rest in the gentle, humble heart of God carrying an easy yoke and light burden.
