Rest

Prayer Spaces at Home and a Prayer for a balanced life

Have you ever been working and got tired to the point that you cannot concentrate? Jesus invited the apostles to rest a bit. He teaches us that it is important to work but it is also important to rest. 

  • Spread a carpet and lay it on with a cushion underneath your head for comfort, and try to spend a bit of time in silence. If a thought pops up let it go. 
  • Try and stay for two minutes. You can also use a piece of two minute music to keep track of time. 
  • When you get back up, say a prayer to praise God for the beautiful life we have balanced with work and rest.

How to use this space

God speaks to us in many ways, including through prayer at home. Here you will find useful background and activities to better understand how to pray, helping you to connect with God in your daily life in a meaningful way.
