Matthew 11:28-30

“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.”

NLT:  Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you.  Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”  “For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Joshua 1:5 & 9

“No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life.  As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you … Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

NLT:  No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live, For I will be with you as I was with Moses.  I will not fail you or abandon you. “This is my command-be strong and courageous!  Do not be afraid or discouraged.  For the Lord you God is with you wherever you go.”
