My Short prayer
[!aside]
In order to be self aware, I need to be finite. Finity is a prerequisite for self-awareness.
Blessed are you, Ha’Shem, our G!d. Please Hear my prayer. What I ask for, I ask in Your Name, for Your Wisdom is far beyond my own. I pray that whatever I do be aligned and true to that which You Desire from me. May my need to be close to you be fulfilled for Your Name and our joy. Amen, Amen.
Morning prayer
How to live a meaningful day
When you awake in the morning, while you are still in bed, think for a moment: what does it mean to be awake and alive? Begin each day with a prayer, thank G!d for the new day. Acknowledge your soul and the vibrancy and fortitude it provides. Think about what you would like to accomplish that would make today a meaningful day. Train yourself to do this every morning and you will begin to see your life in a new sharper focus.
But concentrating on your soul is a daylong activity, not to be confined to those first waking moments. Create spaces during the day when you can be alone with your soul and with G!d. Study something meaningful, use your intellect to think about G!d, and contemplate the the purpose of your existence. As your day grows increasingly hectic, look back to that calm moment when you awoke, when your thoughts and desires were crystallised. Try to recapture that focus, and apply it to the moment at hand, creating an island of purpose in a sea of randomness.
Another short prayer
Thank You for all the beauty You shower upon us,
And the care with which You have fashioned me
And everything around me,
supporting and nourishing all of us.
For we all share the same air,
The same water and the same earth.
Only in fire do we differ.
Thank You for all the healing energy
with which You Bless us.
A Dedication
I promise my hear and soul to Your, HaShem’s, service. Please accept all I have, so that it and all that I am might be used to further Your Glory, now and for evermore.
The love I feel for You can overwhelm me. You are so beautiful, so full, so complete that my heart bursts with the joy of Your Presence.
Bless me, for I am Yours forevermore, selah.
