“Take my yoke upon you”
SCRIPTURE
Matthew 11:28-30 NLT
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

- Jesus offers rest to those that take on his yoke. In your own words describe what that looks like in daily life.
