Why You Feel More Tired After a Holiday | Matthew 11:30 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Thursday 23 July 2026
You came home from holiday needing another holiday. Sound familiar?
Most of us are more exhausted than ever - and the scroll isn't helping.
In this 5-minute devotional, we look at what Jesus really means when
he says his "yoke is easy" (Matthew 11:30) - and why genuine rest
might look very different from what we've been chasing.
*In this video:*
- Why holidays and screen time often leave us more drained
- What consumer culture gets wrong about rest
- The surprising truth about Jesus' "easy yoke"
- Why active rest (prayer, creativity, conversation, service)
restores us more deeply than passive entertainment
- A simple challenge to try this week
