Matthew 11 — Come to Me, and Rest
Weariness doesn’t always announce itself loudly.
Sometimes it gathers quietly —
in the weight we carry,
the expectations we hold,
and the effort it takes just to make it through the day.
In this episode of As You Lie Down, Jesus’ words from Matthew 11 are read slowly and without commentary. He speaks directly to those who are burdened and tired, offering not instruction, but invitation — an assurance of gentleness, closeness, and rest for the soul.
This reading is offered in the quiet hours of the night, accompanied by gentle ambient sound, allowing for the body to slow and the heart to settle.
There is nothing to achieve here.
Nothing to understand or complete.
Whether you remain awake or drift into sleep, the Word has already been spoken — and nothing is lost.
