13 Av 5776

Dear Heavenly Father,

Praised are you my Lord and may your name be praised in the heavens above and on the earth below for ever and ever.

Thank you for bringing me to this day, for breathing life into my soul.  Thank you for blessing me with one more day to spend with those I love and to be your light to the world.  I pray you grant me the strength and the wisdom to walk in your word and to spread your love.  I pray that you continue to protect me, my family, and my home from the evil in this world, and to forgive us of our sins so we may walk humbly with you.  I ask that you place in me a forgiving heart so that I may love mercy as you do.  I pray that you remove temptation from my life and that you continue guide me on the path with which you have laid at my feet.  May you never remove your face from before me, and may my walk with you produce love and peace.

Father, I pray that you be merciful with your people Israel.  I ask that you continue to call to them from the four corners of the world and that you gather them together in the land you promised us, the ancestors of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  I ask that you open their eyes and free their hearts to the goodness, the love, the mercy, and the peace that you have to offer.  May your Kingdom be everlasting and may we dwell in your presence forever.

Blessed are you O Lord our God who calls His people when He is ready to call them, and delivers them when He is ready to deliver.

Amen!
