Morning by Morning, September 1, 2025 – Labor Day Prayer—“Come to Me All You Who Labor”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I look to You and rest in You—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. ...
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).
On this Labor Day, we honor those work and labor across our land, who have worked and labored to make our land one where all are free to work hard and pursue their dreams as each is led and as each desires. And it’s also a day to rest from our labors.
Whether we’re laboring or resting, may we each rest in You each day. Trusting in Your provision, in Your strength, in Your guidance in all we do.
Resting is a form of trusting. Resting is a form of expressing our faith and hope in You first, rather than primarily depending upon ourselves first. And resting is a form of remembering that You supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19) and that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light, if we will first “Come to (You)” and “rest” in You.
Thank You for the gift of “rest” in You and the gift of trusting in You. May this Labor Day be a day of remembering and resting in You, ready to rise up tomorrow morning to continue our mission and fulfill our dreams in every way You lead each of us. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
