7 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 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 one more chance to be your light in this world.  Father, please grant me the strength and the wisdom to walk in your word and to show you love.  Please fill my heart with mercy so that I may be forgiving with others just as freely as you have been forgiving with me.  May your face never be removed from before me, and may your spirit dwell within me forever.  I am so grateful to you my Lord for all the blessings and attention you have gifted me over my lifetime, but I am especially grateful for my family and our love for you and each other.  Thank you Father for giving me a wife who is dedicated to your love and your spirit, who you chose to open my eyes and see your truth.  You truly are a loving, patient, and merciful God, who is full of grace and slow to anger.  Father, your greatness is unsearchable and your wonders are with us daily.

Your judgments are also with us my Lord, and the evidence of your judgments happen all the time, but Father, I pray you end your judgment in Texas and make the rain stop and dry up the land.  You promised your servant, Noah, that you would not destroy by water any longer, yet the destruction in our nation is beyond anything that area has ever seen.  Father, please be merciful and help bring the people who are trapped to safety.  Help those living in shelters by bringing them food, water, clothes, and peace.  Father, thank you for saving those whom you have saved and for providing help when help is needed.  Through you, this disaster can be ended and through you those whom you have granted life will continue to live.  Please Father, they need you now more than ever, and I pray for your help.

Blessed are you O Lord our God the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob who saves those whom He wishes saved.

Amen!
