Peace Amidst Chaos

Is there such a thing as “Rest”?

Are you going and going and feeling like you’re about to burn out? Maybe you’re already completely exhausted and depleted. Wherever you are, know that you’re not alone. God wants to meet you right where you are and give you rest. If you’re striving in your own strength, He desperately wants you to release your efforts into His loving hands and trust Him to sustain you and work through you.

Here are some resources about the beautiful peace and rest that Jesus offers. We pray that these encourage your soul and help you to breathe... allowing Jesus to refresh your weary heart.
