The creation story in the Bible has God working six days of the week and on the seventh day, taking rest. There is from then on, this whole lord of the work vs lord of rest debate. Interestingly the Lord works six days and rests only one day... after admiring all the good he has done. In general, we tend to focus on the final day of rest as special, important. So Sunday is always special. It is holy day.
Let's look at it from the creation's perspective. I think there was nothing special about the day. From the work and creation perspective it was a break. A pause. A time to recuperate, rejuvenate, revive. Not just the Lord, the creator but creation as well.
As for the debate between the lord of work vs the lord of prayer... we need to primarily keep in mind, that ultimately it is the same Lord!!
