Spiritual Resources
Jesus asked his disciples to 'come and rest awhile' in the midst of their busy lives, when the gospels relate that they were too busy even to eat!
If you sometimes feel this way, this page should help, by providing links to some spiritual resources to help you pray and rest in God.
