Rest in Him“Come to Me, all you who are weary”
Jesus says these words in Matthew 11, right after praising His Father (Matthew 11:25-27). They are the verse at the bottom of every page of this site, and the reason the app is called Rest in Him.
Matthew 11:28-30 in three translations
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy 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 ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

“Rest in the LORD”
The King James Version translates Psalm 37:7 as “Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him.”
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
