Rest for the Weary

Jan 14, 2026 • James Epperly

Welcome to Day 3 of our 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting — “Rest for the Weary.” In this 30-minute Good Morning LIVE teaching, Pastor James unpacks Matthew 11:28–30 and shows that rest isn’t a luxury or a reward—it’s a promise from Jesus. If you’ve been carrying pressure, anxiety, responsibility, or emotional weight, this message will help you understand how to come to Christ, lay down heavy burdens, and find rest for your soul.

You’ll learn what it means to be “heavy laden,” why Jesus says His yoke is easy and His burden is light, and how to move from striving to surrender. We also walk through practical “rest moves” and a live activation moment to help you identify the burden God is asking you to release today so peace can guard your heart and mind.

✅ In this teaching, you’ll learn:

• Why rest is a gift Jesus gives (not something you earn)

• How to stop living from pressure and start living from presence

• What it means to be yoked to Jesus and learn His pace

• How to cast your cares on the Lord and receive peace

• Practical steps to build a lifestyle of rest during the fast
