Find a passageAn invitation, not a demand
This passage makes room to bring weariness to Jesus rather than carrying it alone.
In Matthew 11, Jesus speaks to people carrying heavy burdens and invites them to come to him and learn from him. The invitation does not deny difficulty; it names Jesus as gentle and humble and continues into a way of life with him.
Read it in full, with the World English Bible text and the King James reading of the same verses, on the Matthew 11:28-30 page.

The library lists all thirteen with a description of each, because situations get filed under words people would not always guess.
If what you are carrying is heavier than a page can hold, this is not the place for it. Nobody is reading what you type into this site.
