Let this day be a true day of rest and relaxation, O God. Help us to make the time to recharge our souls. Let us take the mid-game nap that comes when we are fully sated from great snacks. Help us to take the time to escape in a book or movie and let go of all the other distractions that take up so much space in our active minds. Let us release them if only for a little while so that when they return we can see them more clearly. Help us to see the value of Sabbath and give us the strength to take it. Bless us this and every day. Amen
