Happy Self Care-Saturday Dearly Loved Ones!
I cannot believe how late the hour is and that means we do a scaled back version of the blog. I hope everyone had a blessed and restful day and that you did something just for you. Remember self-car is just as important as prayer and physical time. I forgot to make the suggestion to put all the things that are bothering you into the Worry/Sabbath Box, jar, or journal last evening. Do that now. We begin tonight with intercessory prayers instead of the prayer vigils so that we can change up our worship format.
Prayers for Healing

Let us take a virtual Labyrinth walk to set our hearts at ease and may we ever be mindful of God and each other. Use your mouse to follow the path! While you do here is tonight's musical meditation: The Best of Einaudi _Album
God you rested on the Seventh day and hallowed it as a day of holiness. Tonight we light our candles and be at prayer as we prepare for a period of much needed Sabbath rest. We pray for all our family members who lack periods of rest and days of Sabbath observances. We pray and remember all of our first responders who protect us on weekends and the night hours. We pray for all of our family members who are in hospitals this day that they may receive necessary care and healing. We pray for an end to violence and terror. We give thanks for all of God's abundant blessing God bestowed upon us this day. We pray for all who are feeling lost, lonely and alone and even feel invisible. We pray for all of our family members who grieve the losses of their animal and human family members. We pray for all who are driving on the roads this night that they may be safe from harm. We pray for an end to distracted driving. We pray that we may lead lives that are compassionate, accepting, loving, and merciful. We pray that we may carry and reflect God's image and light to this fragile and broken world. We offer these our prayers in the most holy name of Jesus. Amen.
Good Night Dear Ones! I love you and give God thanks for you this night and always.
With love, peace, and blessings,
Sara
