5 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 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 are forgiving with me.  If it be your will my Lord, please bless me with a spirit of patience and bring peace to my soul.  You are truly a great and loving God, who is full of grace and compassion.  You are a God who is fair to all, and the creator of all things.  We are your clay and you have molded us into your likeness.  Please my Lord, never leave us, never let our spirits grow dark, for we are children of the light and it is through your light that our path to your Kingdom is lit.  You are the first and you are the last, besides you we have no King or Redeemer.  You created the heavens and the earth with your word and all known existence belongs to you.

Father, please help your children who are in such dire straits.  Those who have no home or food, by no fault of their own I pray you look kindly on them.  Father, I ask that you find your flock and call them back to you, for the new Jerusalem will come only when all people bend their knees and look to you and say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord."  May you never remove your face from before me, and may you continue to guide my steps along your path, never turning to the right or the left.  You are my guide, and you are my fortress.  With you, all things are possible.  You have blessed me with an amazing life, a wonderful family, and an occupation to help shelter us, and put food on the table.  You granted me comfort and you brought love into my life.  Thank you for looking out for me, when I have done nothing to deserve it.  My faith is in you, and you are my light.

Blessed are you O Lord our God who lifts his children up high and guides them to his kingdom.

Amen!
