Psalms 71:1-24. If I go through this day in the strength of the Lord, what thoughts, words, and actions would that produce in me?

Hebrews 12:3-11. What have I been going through lately that may have seemed harsh and unfair, but which in fact was all part of God’s fatherly chastisement leading me into righteousness, peace, and joy?
Matthew 11:25-30. Related, how can I go about yoking up with Jesus today, learning his ways and gaining his rest?
