"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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

I just read a couple of days of ago that there are more people in this nation today who are more anxious than ever before. More households today are panicking because of our economy; not to mention the moral decline and worsening spiritual problems besetting our nation. Even some of us today are being challenged by economic troubles and struggling with physical weakness or malady, Still, others are being overwhelmed and drowned by all kinds of concerns and worries. Truly we are living in a broken and hurting world. Because there is so much brokenness in our midst today, the tendency for us is to have more when things are moving away from us. It seems like everyone today is crying out for more: more work hours, more money, and more control of these things surrounding us. But that is not the answer. It is not having more that will solve our problems. Neither escaping will solve them nor is it wallowing in our pitiful conditions. It is not having that fatalistic mindset that will cure our problems. These are not the answers to our brokenness and pain.

The answer is knowing to whom to go to in times of our needs. You need to know that in these times that you are in the midst of the ocean of despair, there is this somebody who watches over you. And this one who is watching over you and me is inviting us to "Come to Him!" It is not having more, nor running away from your problems, nor having less of God that will bring solution to your needs. But it is actually drawing to God. Jesus Christ is giving us the invitation,
