The Gift of Sabbath

Spiritual Vitamin


"Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." Genesis 2:3

Challenge: Do you enjoy the gift of Sabbath? How?


Today's Prayer


Dear God, Thank you for the gift of Sabbath. Some of us have way too much time on our hands these days; others are crazy busy. Either way, we’re so thankful that you give us one day at the beginning of the week to rest and appreciate the gift of life. Taking a “pause” and doing nothing can be so hard for us! But, Lord, we choose to trust you today and the Sabbath you give us. Help us find joy, laughter, fun and enjoyment in our day. Help us lift our eyes from the concerns of our world and find our rest in You. We delight in you, God and your world, and remember that you are still in control over this virus. And so, Lord, we give you our fatigue, our burnout, our anxiety, our worn-down immune systems, our confusion and our tension. Teach us to rest. To relax. To enjoy a moment in time that is a gift from You. Amen.
