Daily dose of grace
Find solace and strength in daily verses from the Bible, carefully selected to speak life into your heart and offer encouragement for anxious minds. Welcome to your moment of peace with Restored by Grace.
Matthew 11:28
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This verse is one of the most comforting invitations Jesus gives — not just to the strong, the joyful, or the “put-together,” but to those who are tired, weary, and carrying heavy loads.
A personal call
It’s a personal call straight from the heart of Jesus: “Come to Me.” He doesn’t say fix yourself first, or get it all together, or be perfect. He simply says, come. That means exactly how you are — overwhelmed, anxious, broken, or just plain exhausted from the weight of life.
Inner calm
When Jesus says, “I will give you rest,” He’s not just talking about physical rest. The word “rest” (anapausis) means peace, renewal, refreshment, and restoration — the kind that reaches your soul. It’s a promise of deep, inner calm that the world can’t provide. It’s the peace that comes from knowing you don’t have to carry your burdens alone anymore.
Daily Verses
Deuteronomy 13:4 (New International Version)
It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Daily Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this new day. As the sun rises and Your mercies are renewed, I pause before You with a humble heart. You know the uncertainties I face, the doubts that linger, and the fears that whisper in the shadows. I bring them all to You now.
Lord, help me to trust in Your timing and in Your plans — even when I cannot see the way ahead. Give me patience when waiting feels endless. Give me strength when circumstances feel overwhelming. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses understanding.
Guide me by Your Spirit today. Show me where You’re working behind the scenes, even when I feel powerless. Help me to rest in the promise that You are with me, that You have not forgotten me, and that You are working all things for good — even if I don’t yet see how.
Let my heart remain open to Your voice. Let me lean not on my own understanding, but cling to Your wisdom and grace. Use me today as a vessel of Your love and hope to others who may be weary, discouraged, or in need of Your presence.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
