Pilgrim's Prayer - God of sabbath-rest, You rested on the seventh day from all Your work. Teach me the holiness of rest on this pilgrimage. Help me not to fill every moment with activity, but to find time to cease from my labors and simply be in Your presence. Remind me that You are the Lord of my time.
