28 Elul 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 Sabbath day, for waking me and breathing life into my soul.  Thank you for blessing me with one more day to spend with those I love, and for one more chance to be your light to the world.  Thank you for granting me the strength and wisdom to walk in your word, and thank you for granting me mercy when I stumble.

Thank you for the gift of your Torah, your truth.  Your word contains the wisdom of the heavens and of the earth.  It teaches me how to love you and how to love my neighbors.  It reveals your prophecies and opens my eyes and heart to the world.  It is your testimony to me.

Thank you for loving me so much that you gave us your son to take the sins from me.  You sacrificed him so that I may live.  I am so grateful to you for showing me the way and for guiding my life in love and in peace.

Blessed are you O Lord our God who gives us this Sabbath day for our pleasure.

Amen!
