Prayer for November 22, 2025

Thank you for short retreats, Compassionate God.  Because life is so busy, to step away, even for 24 hours, and go someplace peaceful is an incredible gift.  May I be willing to take those times more often as they refresh me in ways that a simple day off (if there is such a thing) cannot.  Help me to recognize when I am in need of Sabbath and make the time for actually enjoying it.  When others around me seem to need Sabbath time, may I be supportive in them accomplishing it.  All this we ask in the name of you, O God.  Amen
