Zechariah 9:9-12; Psalm 145:8-14; Romans 7:15-25a; Matthew 11:16-19,25-30
Kincaid reflects on weariness through stories of family labor, children mimicking busy adults, and Jesus’ invitation to rest. She contrasts society’s heavy expectations with Christ’s light burden, arguing that love, surrender, and trust in God ease life’s weight. True peace comes not from doing more, but from yielding control and walking beside Jesus in faith.
