A Jewish Prayer
Sometimes I feel lonely, and from the depths I cry unto Thee, and within me, Thy voice answers me, and I know that Thou, Eternal Friend, art near me. Sometimes the sense of failure seizes me, and I am disheartened. Unto Thee do I raise mine eyes, and the light of my heavenly Father shines upon me, and bids me to persevere. Sometimes my daily life oppresses me. Unto Thee do I lift up my soul, and I realize that by doing my duty manfully and cheerfully I am serving Thee, Divine Master,
and my task is revealed to me as something good and sacred.
Sometimes I am sad and sick at heart, but when I think of Thee, Spirit of perfect righteousness and love, a wonderful joy comes to me, for I know that Thou art guiding me. O Lord God of Hosts, surely Thou wilt ever comfort me. Blessed be Thy Name for ever and ever. Amen.
