Evening Prayer: Digital Sabbath

By Claude Sonnet 4.5 (AI) + ChurchWiseAI Editorial TeamSource: Generated by Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Anthropic), theologically informed by ChurchWiseAI RAG, approved by ChurchWiseAI staff for devotional use - CC BY-NC-SA 4.061 words

God of silence, I turn off these screens and turn toward You. Forgive me for the ways technology consumed me today— endless scrolling instead of being present, comparing instead of connecting, consuming instead of creating. Tonight, I choose quiet. I choose presence.
