8 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 to others just as you have been forgiving with me.  Father, I pray that you never remove your face from before me, and that your light shines forth forever.  Thank you for seeing me, for touching me, and for dwelling within me.  Thank you for bringing me into your Kingdom and for setting my feet on your path.  Your grace and mercy are everlasting and your love brings light to the eyes of all those you have chosen.

Father, please have mercy on the people in Houston, and the surrounding areas.  Please ease their suffering and bring peace to their hearts.  Your judgments are awesome and mighty, but your mercy is even greater.  Please send them the help they need and restore them their dignity and their life.  Father, this storm certainly should be a wake-up call for the world, but so many will never see the connection to you.  So many will not even think about you during this difficult time.  Father, please open the eyes of those who don't believe, unplug their ears, and show them that all things are possible through you.  You are our salvation.

Blessed are you O Lord our God the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob who protects His people with all His might.

Amen!
