Rest
We invite you to stop here and rest a while.
To unwind, to breathe deeply and to leave your troubles and cares with God.
Listen to the water flowing and imagine being by a river.
God is like a river bringing life to those who rely on him.
Read and pause, thinking about the poem and the piece of writing from the Bible (The Bible is a book that tells us about God).
Tell God what you need to take a break from and what you need peace about.
