Come onto Me all who are heavy laden and burden down with earthly cares and find rest for your souls.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For in Me you will find a place of peace and solace, a shelter in the time of storm.
Psalm 61
2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

Seek for Me while I can be found; search for me with all your heart.

5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

Seek and you shall find peace like the world cannot know, nor shall it ever until I come, sayeth the Lord.
Matthew 7
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

My Peace I give unto you who diligently seek after Me with a whole heart.
Proverbs 7

Reckon yourselves already dead to the things of the world and living in My Presence in Heaven.
Romans 6

Walk with both feet in Heaven not with one foot on earth and the other in Heaven.

He who seeks to serve two masters will never find peace.
Luke 16
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
