Ease

Webster's Dictionary:

Scriptures:
Amos 6:1,

Psalms 25:13, His soul shall dwell at ease
; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 2 Nephi 28:24,
Therefore, woe be unto him that is at ease in Zion! 
2 Chronicles 10:4,

Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease
thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.  Job 7:13.
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; 

Quotes:
"...keeping commandments and calling upon God in order to have the ability to say with ease,

“I will go and do”" -Michael Ringwood
 "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." -Helen Keller
"He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
-Benjamin Franklin"This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure."
-Winston Churchill"Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering."

Song:
Great God, Attend While Zion Sings.

  My Thoughts:
There is a time for ease, and a time for work. When we are at ease when we should not be, when we should be watching for the day of the Lord, Serving, or Working woe be it unto us that we are not! We are here to learn and while learning we should not be at ease.  

But when we ask Christ to ease our burdens we are using it for the right reason. When we are easing others burdens we are using it for the right reason.
