Prayer for October 20, 2025

We so often begin our weeks knowing that it will be more busy than we want.  Help us to find little respites during those times.  We may not get the full day off we desire, O God, so help us to recognize the siestas that come along and help us to take them when they arrive.  Let us also try to avoid making over scheduling a habit.  Let us learn to say “no” to things that will overprogram us.  You ask us to take a sabbath, help us to make sure those times of rest and restoration happen.  Amen
