There are times when we are so busy that it is hard to know what day it is, O God. Help us during those times to carve out times for ourselves, our souls and our bodies. We need to force ourselves to take an unplanned Sabbath, and we sometimes need the nudge from you or someone we love to remind us of that need. Let us listen when we are called to rest and take the time that we know is important to our health to recharge our batteries. In turn, may we help those we love who are weary find a place of refreshment and rest. May you guide us today and always, Loving God. Amen
