I asked the same question, and for me, the answer was in the words of Jesus in the rest of the verses:
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
The empty promises of this world, the seeking of earthly pleasures that quickly fade, the burdens of sin, the lies of Satan, the brokenness of humanity, and the hopelessness that comes from living this life and facing death without God, it is a heavy, heavy burden.
But in Christ, we have hope. We have His peace with the world can never give. He is there every second of our lives, to help us face any circumstance, great or small. He ministers to us, and we find we are never alone. In Him, we have hope that even if we were to die today, we would be with the Lord. Jesus is so kind, so loving to me. In my mind, I can sometimes hear his "voice" in my soul. It is the most gentle, but powerful, "voice" I have ever heard.
I am not sure if I said it very eloquently, but that's what comes through to me.
Have a great day!
It helps to pray early each morning to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Being spirit controlled is the best way to attain ‘self’ control because the fleshly selfish man is corrupt and needs to be bound - daily.
