When Life Gets To Be a Burden
When was your last bad day and what happened?
How did you handle feeling what you felt?
Read: Matthew 11:28-30
1. What does Jesus say He will do for those that come to Him?
2. How did Jesus describe His yoke and His burden?
A yoke is a wooden beam, normally used between a pair of oxen or other animals to enable them to pull together on a load when working in pairs, as oxen.
3. What are some of the most common burdens we as young people bring to Jesus?
4. Do you ever have the urge to keep your burdens to yourself?
5. What is a burden you are carrying by yourself right now?
6. What will you do with your burden this week?
No matter how strong we are, or how mature our faith is, we all experience moments in life when our burdens seem to overcome us. It’s not necessarily an indication of weak faith or sin or punishment from God; sometimes, it can just be “life.” In those moments, we need to have a close enough relationship with Jesus that we can turn to Him for relief from our burdens.
Prayer
Ask Jesus to lift the weight (yoke) from you when life and worldly things get to be too much for you. That He will give you peace.
