Original prayers for the daily Facebook Live minyan of The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah (Overland Park, KS) on December 28, 2021
Bright as Noon
Creator of Light
Who brings on the evening and the peace of night
To cover us like a blanket until the dawn,
Help us to make
Whatever darkness we face
as bright as noon.
May the love You bestow upon us
Through the gift of Torah
Open our eyes to the connections
That bind all life together.
Lead us to fashion a peace among us
That will reveal how all humanity
And all creation
Are merely a part of
the Oneness that is You.
*********************
Opportunities
It is our love for You, Eternal One,
That inspires us to extend our hands
To our fellow travelers on our life’s journey
As we cross the seas before us
That are not obstacles
But opportunities
To walk along a path towards redemption
That has meaning only if we willingly
share it with joy, with determination
And with hope.
********************
Our gifts for tomorrow
Eternal One,
Guardian of our days
We lie down
And we rise up
Under Your protection
Knowing that
the stillness of night
Will provide us with the vision
That will lead us to infuse tomorrow
With the gifts of our unique and special spirit.
Blessed are You, our God,
who keeps all people
Safe and warm
Embraced within Your loving presence.
