“Come with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” – Mark 6:31

16th January 2025

Many of us started this year drained by the stresses of the previous one. Exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally, we are hoping that this year we will have some time just for ourselves to relax and do as we please. But Jesus is calling us to come with Him to that place of quietness, free from distractions, to find rest that rejuvenates our body, mind, and soul. 

Let this year not be a repeat of the last. Let us take time to forget about ourselves and fix our gaze on the beauty and excellencies of our God. Leave the baggage of your cares and worries at the door, and enter into His presence to worship and praise Him with an undivided heart. Then your soul will find rest, and you will receive the grace to be a channel of God’s blessings in a desperate and wounded world.
