Good Morning, God,
Do you wonder, God, why more people didn't enjoy yesterday as a Sabbath day, even as you have instructed us to do? Sadly, Lord, most in the world were out making headlines in all sorts of ways, except in ways that would make your wish for us be true: that we would all take one day a week-and it really doesn't matter which day, except that most worship services are on Saturday or Sunday-that we would take that day and give it up for you.
God, you have made us to work for six days-you worked for six days according to Genesis in your book-but you also made us to rest for one day, even as you rested from your labors creating the heavens, the earth, the flora and fauna...and humankind. Your work wears out us mere mortals just thinking about it, Lord!
Seriously, Father God, may we so plan our week now that we will take one day this week to worship you, to enjoy the world you have created, and to bring your love to someone else. You created the Sabbath; may we wisely use it.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
