Striving for oneness - Daily minyan reading - January 18, 2024

Facebook Live Daily Minyan Original Reading
The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah

Eternal Source of wisdom,
Silent companion, 
Wellspring of hope, 
In times when the storms of life overtake us, 
Grant us the strength to endure
whatever may cause our steps to falter. 
In times of darkness that overcomes our hearts, 
Lead us to find light inside ourselves 
And within those who are close to us
So that we can turn gloom into brilliance, 
Night into noon. 
In times when unity escapes us, 
Turn us back towards each other
So that we will listen and learn 
And recreate commonality 
That will uphold truth, understanding, 
And partnership. 
In times when hatred descends like a black cloud, 
Help us to engender love and friendship 
So that we will recognize that the presence of every person
Is essential to the completeness of the universe, 
Of our world, and of our lives. 
May we strive for a oneness that will bind us together
Through any challenge we may encounter.
