4 Elul 5777

Dear Heavenly Father,

Praised are you my Lord and may your holy 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 one more day with those I love and one more chance to be your light in this world.  Thank you for blessing me with the strength and the wisdom to walk in your word.  Thank you for correcting me, and forgiving me, when I stray from your path.  You are truly the Lord of Hosts and the their are none who compare to you.  You are the first and your are the last, and besides you, we have no King or Redeemer.  You are full of grace and mercy, and your love provides the light in my eyes.

Father, I am so grateful for all your attention and your loving kindness.  You never go back on your promises, and your word is always true.  You protect your children and you offer peace to anyone who wants to take hold of you.   Your judgments are always just and fair, and your grace flows from you like a waterfall on the highest mountains.  You set the sun and the moon on their course, and through your wisdom you created the earth, the sun, and the moon just the right size and distances from each other that we are blessed to be able to witness eclipses like the one you showed us this week.  Your might and wisdom amazes me, and I am humbled that you offer me that same wisdom as a free gift from your heart.

Blessed are you O Lord our God the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob who blesses us with this Sabbath day.

Amen!
