Good Morning, God
Creator and sustaining God, we don’t know how you do it. We don’t get the headlines about you that tell us when you rest, when you rejuvenate, when you take a vacation or take a day off. We do remember that the Bible tells us that you worked creating all that is for six days and on the seventh day you rested. We remember that you also invite, albeit command us, to “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. Work for six days, but rest in the Lord on the seventh,” you have said. We know you care about our rest, relaxation and rejuvenation like you care about your own. All this said, God, we are thankful to you for never taking a vacation or a nap or gettin’ a good night’s sleep or taking a holiday.
But we are also so thankful when we have holidays, those extra times to breathe easier, enjoy the day doing something special – or not, and remember why the day is special in the first place. So, as we take a holiday on Monday, after our Sabbath on Sunday, may we be ever mindful and thankful, god, that you never rest and are always on call.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
