For the days when we feel heavyhearted or can’t quite seem to get anything right, when the emotional fatigue is too much to bear, when we are adrift or uncertain, when we’re having a hard time, when we’re feeling bored and isolated…whenever we struggle, we look to You, God, for settling calm and uplifting inspiration.
I feel great hope reading these words from my colleague, Rabbi Naomi Levy. May this blessing encourage a meaningful reset and a hopeful start to your day…
When I panic, God, teach me patience.
When I fear, teach me faith.
When I doubt myself, teach me confidence.
When I despair, teach me hope.
When I lose perspective, show me the way—
Back to love, back to life, back to You. Amen. (Naomi Levy)
