If you call the Sabbath a delight… then you will find your joy in the Lord."
Heavenly Father,
As we step into this sacred Sabbath, teach us again what it means to delight in You.
Not rushing.
Not striving.
Not carrying the weight of the week on our shoulders—
but choosing joy, choosing rest, choosing Your presence.
Lord, make this day a reminder that Your commands are not burdens but blessings. That rest is not weakness but worship.
That delighting in You restores what life has drained.
We lift Jen before You today—Your daughter, Your beloved, the one You hold in the palm of Your hand. You see every cell in her body, every moment of pain, every quiet fear, every brave step she takes. Surround her with Your healing presence. Let Your strength rise where her strength feels small. Let Your peace settle where anxiety tries to speak. Let Your love be the atmosphere she breathes.
And Lord, we widen this prayer to every person fighting cancer right now.
We pray for Samira for her continued healing. For Alison's daughter, Lindsey's mother, Laurik and Haleen.
For those in various treatment, those awaiting results, those exhausted from the journey— be their refuge. Be their comfort. Be their healer.
Touch every body with Your restoring power.
Touch every mind with Your calming peace.
Touch every family with Your sustaining grace.
We also want to give you thanks and praise for the continued healing of Joan as she has tested negative.
We thank you for the seniors with us who have got through a harsh winter and polluted conditions. We pray for Pastor Ben and his family in India. We pray for the family in India who's father is in a serious way. Let his heart not be broken. Let him feel your grace and your peace. Strengthen the family and the caretaker daughter. Be with them. Strengthen them.
May this Sabbath bring:
Rest that restores. Peace that settles the soul. Joy that rises from gratitude. Faith that grows deeper. Light that guides every step.
Amen
Please join us every week in our Sabbath Prayer for the week. We request your support in adopting prayer points for people mentioned, in your own prayers this week and become vessels of His healing.
