Like us, Jesus the Nazarene was affected emotionally by things and people in his lifetime. There is no reason to think that he did not suffer from anxiety, weariness, anger, exhaustion, frustration and so on, like us. Our God entered the world as a fellow human being of ours. In today's gospel, we hear Jesus calling gently those who are burdened and wearied to come to his humble and gentle presence. It is our faith that Lord Jesus truly knows what humility and gentleness is. Therefore, going to him and relaxing in his presence will make a difference in how we put our burdens, worries, anxieties in perspective, and manage them accordingly. Jesus offers us a lifeline. "Come to me . . ." he says, "... and I will give you peace."
