Call unto me all ye that are weary

There are days when you have worried for so long—worried about the future, the present, a job, a breakthrough—that the worry begins to live inside you. You wake up with a heavy heart because your pillow has been soaked with tears, yet the burden still does not lift.

The Lord, in His mercy, made provision for days like this. He knows there will be moments when you feel like you cannot take it anymore. Days when you may not feel Him, yet somehow still know He is there. And in those moments, He is saying to you: Call unto Me.

I know there are days when even crying out requires strength you feel you no longer have. Days when asking for help feels like too much effort. Yet God is still calling you, saying:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

— Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

Your labor may have felt like it came with no reward. The heaviness may have grown out of deep weariness—so heavy that you cannot seem to shake it off. But today, I bring an announcement to you: rest has come for you who are weary in Zion.

I sound an alarm in the spirit to let you know that the yoke is broken off you, and you are stepping into the fullness of all that God has prepared for you.

The Lord declares in Jeremiah 33:3:

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”

Until you call, answers will not come. But when you begin to call on the Lord, heaven becomes alert. Angels are dispatched because answers are to be delivered. God’s desire is to show you great and mighty things—but to see them, you must call on Him. Not as a beggar, but as a son. Not from defeat, but from trust.

You must groan out of that place of pain and refuse to let the pain have the best of you. Instead, build with what the Lord is revealing in that moment. Nothing you are going through is a waste. Even time lost and opportunities missed—God is able to restore them. For we do not serve a God of second chances, but a God of many chances. He keeps coming back until your soul is redeemed, your time is redeemed, and you step into what He has prepared for you.

So I bring a reminder that God never left you.

Until You Become Dissatisfied.

Many of us have become too comfortable with what life has to offer. We settle. We adjust. We forget that there was once a man in Scripture called Jabez. The Bible says he was more honorable than his brothers, yet nothing in his life reflected that honor. There was a contradiction between his reality and his identity.

Many of us are in that same place — comfortable in contradiction. We are called peace but in turbulence, wealth yet in abject poverty. We don’t look beyond what life has handed us to see what God can do when we dare to pray certain kinds of prayers.

I once heard someone say, “I don’t want much from life. If I can just pay my children’s fees and have enough to eat, that's okay.” We forget that our words form our world.

Jabez’s mother birthed him in pain and named him after it. Even though he was honorable, his life carried a label that fought his destiny. But one day, Jabez became unsatisfied. One day, he said “Enough, this can't go on!”  he cried out to the God of Israel for a change.

1 Chronicles 4:9–10 (NKJV)
9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”
10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.

Beloved, until you become dissatisfied, nothing changes. A life of mediocrity is not God’s plan for you. A life of “just enough” is not your portion. You are God’s masterpiece, designed to reveal His goodness on the earth.

Heaven is waiting for you to get tired of average. Heaven is waiting for you to roar in prayer until angels are dispatched with your answers.

Until you become uncomfortable and cry out, the yoke will not fall. Like a dog that outgrows the chain and shakes until it breaks loose, you must engage in violent, persistent warfare prayer until you hear the chains fall, until you see the shift.

Consider the prayer of Jabez — and pray it until something breaks. Do not grow weary. Stand strong in faith until God answers.

Guide your heart with diligence

The heart of man is the root of all evil. This is true because no one truly knows what another person is thinking—what we often see is only the smile on the surface.

The heart of man is a battlefield. It is the place where the old crooked serpent constantly seeks control. He knows that if your heart aligns with Christ, you will live like Christ. So he comes after the heart—breaking it, taunting it, staining it—so that when you hear the message of Christ, all you feel is the wound within.

David said, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” — Proverbs 4:23

There is nothing you do that was not first conceived in your heart. The enemy knows this. He also knows he cannot force you, so he creates situations that will soften your heart toward his agenda , so that when you start aiding his agenda, you do not know.

You can call Satan many names, but do not call him foolish or unwise. The very fact that Scripture calls him a serpent tells you he is strategic.

“Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field.” — Genesis 3:1

His methods are deliberate, crafted to make you feel his presence even when he is nowhere close, you might thinking it's just that thought, but it's coming for your alignment to God.

To guard your heart is wisdom. When you do, you build a defense system that combats the enemy when he comes—for surely he will come. Scripture reminds us:

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” — 1 Peter 5:8

As you continue your walk with Christ, it becomes essential to surrender your heart to the leading of the Holy Ghost.

Surrender your mind too, so that your thoughts become thoughts He thinks through you.

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 2:5

And what do you do after that? You keep vigilance over your heart.

Oh, the enemy is smart. He knows what you like, and he uses those very things to make your heart waver for We are not ignorant of his devices.” 

2 Corinthians 2:11

But you must stand your ground and win the battle for your heart. Give the serpent no room.

“Neither give place to the devil.” — Ephesians 4:27

When you do, you will realize that the issues of life—whether victory or defeat—all begin from the heart.

The Power of Thanksgiving in Difficult Times

Life may not have given you everything you desire, but you are no longer where you used to be. That alone is a testimony. Thanksgiving is more than a response to blessings—it is an application for more. When we thank God, we position ourselves to receive, because gratitude opens the doors to the realm of divine help and supernatural supplies, which is evident in the life of David.

We do not thank God only when everything is perfect; we thank Him even when things are far from what we hoped for. Thanksgiving sets the atmosphere for miracles. And miracles are not always loud—being alive is a miracle. Waking up, eating, drinking, and even being able to use the bathroom at the end of the day are blessings we often overlook.

Some time ago, my sister lost her phone and was sad for a while. In that moment of disappointment, a thought came to her: What if this wasn’t just about a stolen phone? What if it was an exchange? Sometimes, the things we lose are things God uses to protect us from what the enemy intended. The Bible says, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” (Psalm 23:5)

The best way to express gratitude is not when everything makes sense, but in the midst of chaos. When challenges arise, raise a chant of thanksgiving to Heaven. Declare the goodness of God, and watch Him move on your behalf.
