Prayer for March 9, 2023

Help us, O God, when our calendars are so full that we are booked from the start of the day to the end. May we carve out breaks in our day, even if only for a few minutes to step back and relax. Give us the strength to say no to being overbooked and if needed make appointments with ourselves during the day, so that we have the time to regenerate. May we learn and observe the sabbath to which you call us. Let us work hard on caring enough for ourselves that we have the energy to care for those we love when called upon. Guide us now and always. Amen
