Rosh Hashanah continues

Reflection

“Whenever feeling downcast, each person should vitally remember, ‘For my sake the entire world was created.’” –Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer

Prayer

God with us,

You are always and already closer to us than we are to you. When we struggle to sense your presence around us, renew our gratitude for the places we inhabit and the world you have given for us to live, work, and play. Inspire us by the thought that you have your eyes on us and love us just as we are, wherever we are. May we thus find the strength to go on and use our gifts to bring good help and healing to neighbors in need. Amen.

Call to Action

If I begin to feel downcast today, pause and remember the uniqueness of my being here in this place in this moment. I have a purpose in being here, today. Live it!
