After struggling with the requests in Aneinu, read during Selichot, I composed a list of requests and questions for this upcoming Shmita year.

עננו
Aneinu, Answer us

How can this year be made holy?
Let us feel full, while living a year of emptiness.
Help us find peace in the confusion.
Give us the power to heal.
May we only learn from peace.
Grant us the courage to keep seeking.

    I am about to go on a sabbatical, and this prayer expresses perfectly what I hope to have happen during that sabbatical. Even though it’s a personal sabbatical rather than the shmita year (and will be a “time” rather than a “year”), this will be my prayer during that time. I’ve already copied it into the journal I will keep during the sabbatical. Thank you so much for sharing this very meaningful prayer!
