Prayer for March 4, 2022

Help us to use the weekend that is before us for respite, O God. We do not take the time to relax when it is afforded us, and often over program ourselves. Let this weekend be a time where we go back to our youth and do nothing more than what brings us joy and refreshes us. Allow us to release the tensions that will certainly wait for us when we return to whatever our work related responsibilities expect. Give us the ability to set them down for a day or two so that we can better attend to them when our attention to them is needed. Help us to take the rest that you remind us we need so often and we more often ignore. Give us your blessing and may your Spirit guide us. Amen.
