Five prayers my Lord…

Father Mother. Health, peace, happiness and ample shelter and food for all my brothers and sisters in our human family.

Maker. That I might have the wisdom of Solomon… understanding of truth, your Torah.

Lover. That I may be smitten… intoxicated-inebriated with your beauty and love.

King. That my heart would long to follow and obey you in goodness.

Peace.

May I be like Ephraim and Menasseh.
יְשִׂימְךָ אֱלהיִם כְּאֶפְרַיְם וְכִמְנַשֶּׁה.

May I be like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah.
יְשִׂימֵךְ אֱלהיִם כְּשָׂרָה רִבְקָה רָחֵל וְלֵאָה.

Bless me and guard me.

יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה וְיִשְׁמְרֶ.

Show me favor and be gracious to me

יָאֵר יְהוָה פָּנָיו  אֵלֶיךָ וִיחֻנֶּךָּ

And my heart and my mind and my blood and my bones and my seed will sing of your great love and faithfulness.  We will dance with illuminated joy to your love songs all life long.  We  will proclaim you to our brothers and sisters in this human family.  The King of the universe reigns.  Sing his praises.  Dance to her and be still.
