Lord Jesus,
You who prioritize compassion and mercy over strict adherence to rules, guide us to understand the true purpose of the Sabbath—a day meant for rest, reflection, and doing good. Help us to be mindful of our intentions and the motivations behind our actions. May we act out of love and compassion, rather than other motives.
Teach us to always put doing good and helping others first. Give us the strength to choose what is right, even in the face of potential backlash. Help us to stand firm in our convictions and act with integrity, even when it’s challenging.
Lord, we trust in Your guidance and seek to act on our faith, even when the outcome is uncertain. Fill our hearts with Your wisdom and courage, so that we may live lives that reflect Your love and grace.
In Your holy name, we pray.
Amen.
