If you've said recently, "I'm so over this - get me out of here!", you're not alone. We often end up where we never planned to be, feeling isolated and discouraged.

This reading plan includes five daily devotions based on Bruce Hindmarsh’s and Craig Borlase’s book Amazing Grace: The Life of John Newton and the Surprising Story Behind His Song.

Jesus told us that our weariness comes from carrying a burden that is too heavy for us. Instead, we are supposed to give our problems, cares, and concerns to Him and allow Him to give us the strength to do what He asks. He will teach us to do this over the next 30 days because He is humble and gentle at heart. God's word will show us examples of people throughout scripture who put their burdens in His hands and found rest for their souls.
