Here are some nice quotes about Laying aside busyness: running with rest. It's by Cynthia Heald. =)
Running with Rest:
Running with Rest:
If we're running, how can we be resting at the same time? Physical rest is very important, but in order to keep running we also need an inner rest - the peace and refreshment that come only from the Lord. Oswald Chambers describes this inner rest: "I will stay you. Not - I will put you to bed and hold your hand and sing you to sleep; but - I will get you out of bed, out of languor and exhaustion, out of the state of being half dead while you're alive; I will imbue you with the spirit of life, and you will be stayed by the perfection of vital activity."
God's rest can be ours. It comes when we abide in Him and stay active in His business, not our busyness.

Don't be unwise enough to think that we are serving God best by constant activity at the cost of headaches and broken rest. I am getting to be of the opinion that we may be doing too much. We want - at least this is my own want - a higher quality of work. Our labor should be to maintain unbroken communion with our blessed Lord; then we shall have entire rest, and God abiding in us; that which we do will not be ours, but His.
