And he added, “God blesses those who do not fall away because of me.”

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. 37The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.”

 “When an evil  spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none. 44Then it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ So it returns and finds its former home empty, swept, and in order. 45Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before. That will be the experience of this evil generation.”

Lord God my Father,

Keep me close so I may hear your desire. Help me to learn how to allow you to carry my burdens. Keep my mind from thoughts that separate me from your Peace and keep your spirit in me loud enough to make me undesirable to evil.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
