Dearest God,

Have I ever thanked you for rest?  Have I ever said how good it feels to rest and recover?  Have I ever mentioned what a gift rest is?

Today I rested nearly all day.  I was so tired from the inside out.  All I could do was lay down and rest my body and mind.  My spirit was good giving thanks to you, my Creator for all the gifts of your spirit.  When I rest, I think of you.  I think of how recuperative rest can be.  I think of how even energy needs a reprieve from time to time.  I think of how you help us know what we need to do when we are weary.  

Thank you

for blessed rest,

O God.

Thank you

for means

by which

to recuperate

from labor,

worry and frustration.

Thank you

for all

your gifts,

Compassionate God.

Yours, Andrea
