20 Shevat 5776

Dear Heavenly Father,

Praised are you and praised is your name forever and ever.

Thank you for bringing me to the Sabbath day my Lord.  Thank you for waking me and breathing life into my soul.  Thank you for all your blessings in my life, and for allowing me to be a servant to you and to others around me.

Thank you for creating all that we know and for guiding us through the life we live in this world.  Thank you for correcting me when I stray, and thank you for lifting me up in my time of need.  Thank you for protecting me from the evil in the world, and for keeping temptation far from me.

Thank you for your gift of Torah, for giving me a way to understand the greatness that you bring to our lives, and for providing a guide of truth that shows me how to love you.  Thank you for giving me the freedom to be able to read and study your word, and thank you for saving your people Israel so your word never leaves us.

Thank you for loving us so much that you sent us your only begotten son to take the sin from the world and to give us eternal life.  It is Yeshua who has reminded us to repent and return to you, and who taught us the true meaning of living a life filled with your spirit and your love.  I am forever grateful to you for revealing this truth to me.

Thank you for blessing me with a family that is full of love and compassion.  Thank you for bringing people into my life who guide me and whom I can shine your light.  Thank you for blessing me with a career that allows me to travel this world and to provide for those I love and those who need help in this world.

Thank you for this gift of Shabbat, a day that we can set apart to remember the goodness you gave us and the miracles you perform for us each and every day.

Blessed are you O Lord our God who blesses us daily and guides us to His righteousness.

Amen!
