Let us take our time and open our hearts fully to God in prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come into Your presence as another week ends, lifting up my heart in gratitude and awe of Your goodness. Thank You for the gift of life, for the breath in my lungs, and for the ways You have provided for me throughout this week. Lord, I pause now to reflect on Your grace and mercy that have carried me through each day. Even in moments of difficulty, Your hand has been upon me, guiding my steps and sustaining my soul.

As I enter this weekend, I ask for a special outpouring of Your peace upon my heart. Quiet the noise of the world around me, and help me to find true rest in Your presence. I lay down every burden, every worry, and every anxiety at Your feet, trusting that You are in control. Lord, You know the cares of my heart—those spoken and unspoken—and I entrust them to You.

As I reflect on this past week, show me the ways in which You’ve been working in my life. Open my eyes to see Your faithfulness, even in the small, everyday moments. And where I have fallen short, I ask for Your forgiveness and grace. Teach me to walk in Your ways, Lord, and mold me into the person You’ve called me to be.

As I spend this weekend with those I love, may it be a time of renewal and connection. Help me to be fully present, to cherish each moment, and to love as You love. Let my words and actions reflect Your heart of compassion, kindness, and patience. And Lord, may this time also be a chance for me to draw closer to You. In moments of quiet, help me to hear Your voice and feel Your presence surrounding me.

Father, I also pray for those who may be struggling this weekend—those who feel lonely, anxious, or burdened. Lord, be near to them and comfort them with Your love. Use me as an instrument of Your peace, that I might share encouragement and hope with those around me. Remind us all that no matter what challenges we face, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of need.

As I look ahead to the coming week, I ask for Your wisdom and guidance in all that I do. Help me to trust in Your timing and to walk by faith, not by sight. Give me a heart that seeks after You above all else. May this weekend be a time of deepening my relationship with You, of finding rest in Your promises, and of preparing my heart for the days ahead.

Thank You, Lord, for the gift of this weekend, for the time to rest and recharge, and for the reminder that You are always with me. I give You all the glory, honor, and praise. In Jesus’ most precious name, I pray. Amen.”

May this prayer bring you comfort, renewal, and a deeper connection with God as you begin your week
