18 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 with those I love and one more chance to be your light in this world.  Thank you for granting me the strength and the wisdom to be able to walk in your word and to show your love.  Thank you for forgiving me my shortcomings and for loving me enough that you allowed your son to be punished for me.  Your grace and your mercy are everlasting and my love for you endures forever.

Father, thank you for shifting the storm enough to save my mother and sister the major brunt, yet there are so many millions who have already suffered and are about to suffer.  Father, you can stop this storm.  You can show the world your power, your might, and your mercy by stopping the winds and holding back your waters.  You held your waters back when your children crossed the Sea of Suf.  You held your waters back when you led Israel across the Yarden.  I believe you can hold your waters back now.  You are great, your name is great, and all your works are great.  You lead us to our Salvation and through your will we are satisfied.  Father, thank you for keeping us close to your heart, for comforting us during our troubles and for blessing us with all our needs.  Thank you for your mercy.

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!
