Prayer for today (4/19/16)

Dearest Jesus, my redeemer and friend. In today's world, when we have a need, most of the time we find a way to supply or to suppress the issue. O how we often forget these your holy words. "Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavily laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 28-30. My Jesus, I know that you love us, more than we can imagine. Thank you Lord. Amen.
