Morning Prayer for Today (January 21, 2026): Wednesday – Finding Rest in Christ
Some mornings we wake up feeling tired, overwhelmed, or burdened by life’s demands. Jesus offers a gentle invitation in Matthew 11:28:
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
This promise reminds us that true rest is found not in escaping our responsibilities, but in coming to Christ. As you begin today, draw near to Him and receive the rest your soul needs.

Lord Jesus, refresh my soul and renew my strength. Teach me to walk in Your peace instead of striving in my own strength. Help me trust You with every responsibility and find rest even in the midst of a busy day.
Father, let Your peace rule my heart today. Restore my joy, calm my mind, and fill me with quiet confidence as I move through this day. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
