10 Cheshvan 5778

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 your love.  Please fill my heart with mercy so that I may be forgiving with others just as you have been forgiving with me.  My God, please never remove your face from before me and continue to guide my steps along the path you have set never turning to the right or the left.  I pray that you continue to keep your hedge of protection around me, my family, and my home so that evil never has a chance to take root, and so that my home is always a peaceful place where your spirit may always abide.

Father, your greatness is unsearchable.  You deliver your people from sin to freedom.  You count faith and trust as righteousness, and you call your people to you, for it is your sheep who knows their shepherd.  Through the death and resurrection of your Son, you have forgiven us the debt of our sin, and you have wiped our slate clean.  Father, your mercies are never ending.  You ask so little of us, only that we love mercy, do justly, and walk humbly with you.  Thank you for the gift of your Torah which guides us in your love.  Father, I pray that you continue to call your people to you, and that the day of the return of our Messiah is close at hand.

Blessed are you O Lord our God who blesses us with his Son, our Messiah, Yeshua.

Amen!
