You know our minds and hearts - Daily Minyan Reading - February 24, 2025

Original Reading

February 24, 2025


Creator and Sustainer of us all, 

You know our minds and hearts. 

You have provided us with possibilities

For growth and progress 

If only we would see the paths that will lead

In that direction. 

Sometimes people choose power over principle

Leaving their fellow human beings 

In dire straits 

Facing war, hunger, oppression 

And other challenges 

that were unnecessary from the start. 

Where there is war, may we work towards just and lasting peace. 

Where there is hunger, may we find new ways 

to share our resources so that no one is deprived 

of life-sustaining nourishment. 

Where there is real and persistent oppression, 

May we uncover the causes of prejudice and hatred

That lead to discrimination 

And provide support, protection, security and comfort 

That will uphold time-honored teachings of 

Decency, honesty, respect and love. 

Open our minds and hearts to Your wisdom and vision 

So that we will experience the blessing 

of Your everlasting Oneness.
