Daily Prayer

G-d of Old,

Judge and Sovereign,

Healer and Guide:

Today I recount my deeds,

The sins I’ve committed,

The blessings I’ve bestowed.

Today I recall my year,

The challenges I’ve faced,

The decisions I’ve made.

Today I reach into my heart,

The moments of anger,

The moments of love.

By Your command G-d of Mercy,

I lay bare the secrets within me,

Light and darkness,

My gentle hand and my clenched fist,

My strength and conceit,

Anger and fear.

By Your command G-d of Wisdom,

I open myself to see truth,

Beauty and degradation,

The holy and the profane,

The victorious and the guilty.

By Your command

G-d of Salvation,

I reclaim all that I am

And all that I’ve done,

My pride and my shame,

Returning to You

So that I may redeem my days

With awe and righteousness.

Even though the name is not really being erased on a computer, and "God" is only an English term used to translate His holy name, it is in keeping with the tradition that you can sometimes find "G‑d" in text and on-line articles.

Why be humble? After all, Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.” Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things and still ignore your mental limitations.
