Prayer from the Occupational Cycle;-

"Prayer"

Compassionate God,
We pray for people who are retired.
Through work, or voluntary work
Or social existence,
Let them know they are still part of us,
They still contribute, they are still needed.
Help people who are newly retired to cope
With the stress of a big change in their lives.
And help us all to find our own Sabbath:
As you rested on the seventh day,
Let us all learn to rest.
