Labor to enter My rest. This seems to be a strange exhortation, but I do have a rest that awaits all those who labor in My vineyard. Every day you eat, drink, and hopefully exercise. I know how you often leave off physical exercise. That seems to be last on your list of priorities. When you leave off physical exercise, you become weak. The same is true when you leave off spiritual exercise. Your spiritual exercise is prayer. Daily you feed yourself My Word and drink from the River of Life, My Holy Spirit, but sometimes you do not pray about everything.
My servant Paul exhorted believers to not be anxious about anything, but to pray about everything. When you do this, you will not get into a "worry whirl." Anxiety will cause your soul to be in a state of unrest and the "worry whirl" will wear you out.
Today make your spiritual labor your first priority. Cast all of your cares upon Me in prayer and you will find rest for your soul.
