Lectionary Poem: Sabbath
God speaks through the lectionary,
I’m convinced.
Just when I am
exhausted
anxious
depressed
Lessons about
Sabbath.
Rest.
Even God took a break, and
commands us
to do likewise.
Set it all down:
regret
guilt
worry
dread
responsibility.
Set it all down.
Or, rather,
hand it over.
Hand it over
to the One
who has
searched me out
and
known me.
Rest.
Set it all down.
Hand it over.
