Is it true that when we are young, we trade our health for money, only to spend our later years trying to buy back the health we have lost?
God created days for work, yet on the seventh day, He rested. He created all things to serve humankind. And yet, somehow, we have allowed ourselves to be drawn into the pursuit of wealth, willingly exchanging our health and inner peace for it.
Lord, if it is Your will, grant Your children the grace to live with sufficiency, to love and care for themselves, knowing that their bodies are temples of Yours. Teach us to cherish our health, so that we may serve You and become instruments of Your love in the world. Amen.
