Daily Prayer<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>God of abundance,
\nYou have blessed me
\nWith Your bounty
\nYour love,
\nYour grace,
\nThe treasures of Your creation.<\/p>\n

In gratitude for these gifts,
\nHoly One,
\nBless me with wisdom
\nTo use them with skill,
\nIn service to Your holy name.<\/p>\n

Bless me with humility
\nTo use them with joy
\nIn service to Your creation.<\/p>\n

Bless me with a strong arm
\nAnd a curious mind
\nIn service to Your commandments.<\/p>\n

Bless me with a generous heart
\nAnd a forgiving hand
\nIn the name of Tikkun Olam.<\/p>\n

Bless me with gentle speech
\nAnd joyous laughter,
\nSo that all my works
\nSummon holiness into Your world.<\/p>\n

Then, Rock of Israel,
\nI will honor Your glorious gifts
\nWith all my being.<\/p>\n

Blessed are You, Adonai our God,
\nYour bounty calls us to service.<\/p>\n
