For Weekend Blessings
Gracious Lord,
Thank you for weekends. Not only is my job a blessing from you, but so is the time off, which allows me to return to work rested and refreshed. Lead me to manage my time well this weekend, realizing that how I do so is always an opportunity to honor you and serve my neighbor in love. If time together with friends and family is scheduled, use that time to cheer and uplift us, and give me ears to listen and the words to speak according to the needs of others. If I have time dedicated to projects or hobbies grant me the satisfaction of making meaningful progress and/or bringing them to completion. Help me to use any media or entertainment in moderation and in a way that restores and uplifts my spirit, rather than exposes me to that which would negatively influence me.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
