Heavenly Father,

As we approach this weekend, we thank you for the opportunity to rest, recharge, and spend time with loved ones.

We acknowledge your presence in our lives and invite you to be the center of our weekend activities.

Lord, we pray for your guidance and protection over our plans and endeavors.

Help us to use this time wisely, to find moments of joy, relaxation, and spiritual renewal.

May we seek your will in all that we do and honor you with our thoughts, words, and actions.

Father, we lift up any burdens, worries, or stresses that we may be carrying as we enter into the weekend.

Grant us your peace and fill our hearts with gratitude and contentment.

Lord, bless our time with family and friends, strengthening the bonds of love and fellowship among us.

May our interactions be filled with kindness, laughter, and encouragement, reflecting your love and grace.

Father, we also remember those who may be experiencing hardships or challenges during this time. Comfort them with your presence, provide for their needs, and grant them the strength to endure.

As we rest and enjoy the blessings of the weekend, may we never forget to give thanks to you, the source of all good things. May our hearts be filled with praise and gratitude for your faithfulness and provision.

We commit this weekend into your hands, Lord, trusting in your perfect plan and timing for our lives. May it be a time of joy, peace, and spiritual growth, as we seek to honor you in all that we do.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.

Amen.
