8 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 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 blessing me with the strength and the wisdom to walk in your word.  Thank you for filling my heart with mercy so that I may be forgiving with others just as you are forgiving with me.  Thank you blessing me with a life filled with love, peace, plenty, and your spirit.

You are a great and awesome God.  You are the Lord of Hosts, the creator of all things.  Through your wisdom you spoke our world into existence.  You formed us out of the dust of the earth and you breathed life into our soul.  You set the stars on their course and you gave them to us for signs and seasons.  You gave your promise to our ancestors that his children will fill the world, and you have kept that promise.  You delivered your children from the bondage in Egypt and delivered them to the land that you promised, a land flowing with milk and honey.  You loved your children so much that you sent us your only begotten son so that we could have eternal life.  A life free from the sins of this world.  A life filled with your peace, and lit by the light of your glory.  A life filled with your love.  Your mercies are never ending, and I am so grateful that you have taken me into your covenant.

Blessed are you O Lord our God who blesses us with this Sabbath day as a sign of his covenant with us.

Amen!
