Reflection

“Sleep is the best meditation.” –Dalai Lama

Prayer

Loving God,

Help us find healthy ways to maintain our sense of balance between all the responsibilities we carry. As we do so, may we learn to approach our sleep as a spiritual discipline just as much as a bodily demand. Let sleep be for us a spiritual sign that you have provided, reminding us that we are not so limitless and cannot afford to neglect our own self-care. With serious and intention, guide us into rest-giving, life-affirming, soul-nourishing sleep. Amen.
