Day 5: A Shabbat Meditation

I long to change the world, but I rarely appreciate things as they are.
I know how to give, but I don’t always know how to receive.
I know how to keep busy, but I don’t know how to be still.
I yearn to succeed, but I often forget what is truly important.
Teach me, God, to slow down. May my resting revive me.
May it lead me to wisdom, to holiness, to peace,
and to You. Amen.
