Tuesday’s prayer. | |
Almighty Father,— I thank Thee for Thy never-ceasing mercies; let me not be afraid. Increase my faith in Thee day by day. | |
O Lord, whether we are rich or poor, Thou hast given us our special tasks. If we work thoroughly, earnestly and well, we are doing Thy work, whatever our calling in life may be. Let me never forget this, and grant that I may never feel ashamed of my work, for then I should prove myself faithless unto Thee. | |
Whether we are rich or poor, we have all alike to bear troubles, sadness, and misfortunes. If we could only understand, we should know that these troubles are often of our own making, and that we are responsible for them. | |
O Lord, give me strength to try to leave a little corner of the world rather better than I found it! | |
Let me never be crushed by grief; raise me, lead me, strengthen me! Thou hast given me the power to rise triumphantly above circumstances; no human barrier, no accident of fortune, need hold me back, if I am brave and faithful. | |
O Lord, I am Thy messenger, grant that I may carry out worthily the great duties Thou hast imposed upon me! | |
Order my steps in Thy word, and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. (Psalms 119:133) |

- We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.

Support this work:
The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
