Jesus invites you to come to Him. He will help you rest when you are too tired to sleep. He will help you find peace when you are exhausted from guilt and worry. He is overflowing with love and waiting with open arms.
Heavenly Father, quiet that restless part of my mind. Help me to take a moment and center my thoughts on You. Help me to fully trust You with all my heart.
