Eternal and loving God, this morning, in this august Chamber of the Senate, we ask humbly for Your guidance and grace. As these men and women, duly empowered by their constituents, meet to deliberate the important issues facing our Nation and our world, we turn to You to help them complete their work. Grant them wisdom to fully understand the issues before them; grant them insight to truly know the implications of their actions; grant them confidence to feel that what they are doing is right; and grant them the courage to make those difficult decisions. Be with them today and every day as they fully ponder the affairs of state. | |
While we are here in the comfort and safety of this magnificent and historic Capitol Building, our thoughts turn to those brave Americans– young men and women from every part of our country– who volunteer to serve in our Armed Forces. They are soldiers, marines, sailors, airmen, and coastguardsmen. Many of these brave souls are deployed far from home, in harm’s way, as they do their part in maintaining freedom and our American way of life. Keep them safe and secure until they return to these shores ensconced into the waiting arms of their families and loved ones. | |
אָמֵן׃ |
In Your Holy Name, I pray. Amen. |

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libré 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. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
