06/28/2011 - Daily Prayer

The Bible teaches that when the Israelites stood at the shore of the sea with Pharaoh`s army at their back, they felt trapped, looking forward or backward, they were unable to see a way out of their troubles.

But in a show of faith, Moses put his staff in the water and began to lead his people through the water towards the other side. The faith they had in what they could not see was rewarded by the waters opening up, revealing a path they could not have imagined just moments before.

We pray to the Holy One, the Creator of us all, to continue to provide paths forward, to guide us on our way, and to open up opportunities for peace and prosperity for all people.

Baruch Atah Adonoi, Elohei`nu
Melech Ha`olum, Sh`a`sa`li
Kol Star`Key.

Blessed are you Creator of the Universe, who has provided for me all of my needs.-AMEN.
