Thank you for this Saturday morning and the gift of unhurried time. I pause at the start of this day to reflect on your goodness and acknowledge your faithfulness throughout the week.
Help me not rush into activity, but to begin with reflection and gratitude. Search my heart and realign my priorities. Where my thoughts have become scattered, bring focus.
Where my spirit feels weary, bring renewal. Teach me to walk in the good path you have prepared for me, not driven by pressure, but led by peace.
Today, I choose to listen more than speak, to reflect more than react, and to trust more than strive. I receive the rest, you promise, and open my heart to your gentle guidance.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
