Sabbath Day

Great God,  as we go up to the House of the Lord, our hearts leap for joy.  This is the day we set aside to gather together to Worship You.  This is the day we call "Holy".  For those who preach Your Word this day,  we lift them up in prayer.   Be with those who preach and lead worship so that their hearts may be open to Your Words and they will share the Good News with all.   Be with those of us who sit in the pew.  May our hearts and minds be open to receiving Your Good News.   May we take Your Good News into our community this week.   Thank You God that this is the day we take our rest in You and meditate upon Your Word day and night.   This we ask in Jesus' name.  Amen.
