06/02/2009 - Daily Prayer

It is written in the book of Genesis that "When God began to create the heaven and earth, the earth was unformed and void." (Gen. 1:1) This teaches us that when faced with the chaos of Creation, rather than tackling everything all at once, God simply took things one day at a time. Each day the Holy One sorted out a different problem, and each day created new things that did not exist the day before.

When faced with daunting tasks, we would do well to remember this lesson. Each day offers the promise of new opportunities, and the possibility of creating order from chaos.

May the Holy One, the Creator of us all, grant us the ability to see our world anew each day, may the Holy One fill our hearts with hope and optimism, and may the Holy One bless all of our worthy endeavors.

May this God`s will-AMEN
