tag: Donald Trump Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? Because of my commitment to the integrity of prayer, starting this week, I can no longer recite or say amen to the Shabbat prayer for the success of the U.S. President. So I have drafted a new prayer that I will plan to recite each Shabbat morning. If you also feel it’s important to pray for the U.S. government but also feel you cannot pray for the success of this President, feel free to use this or adapt it as you please. I felt that it was not enough to simply avoid the U.S. President in the prayer for the government but to remind myself of the billions of vulnerable people who are at risk under his rule, and challenge myself each Shabbat to build up the strength for another week of spiritual resistance. . . . Rabbi Marvin Hier offered this prayer of blessing for Donald Trump and the United States of America on January 20, 2017 at the inauguration day ceremony. . . . A plea to not become numb in the face of overwhelming cruelty. . . . A prayer for the United States, its leaders and government and its citizens — a personal response to things that were troubling me in the months before November’s election – in particular the level of divisiveness in our country, and what seemed to me to be a growing sense that it isn’t important to respect people we disagree with, and an ever more prevalent belief that we are entitled to decide for ourselves which rules to follow, and all that matters are own rights and our beliefs, not our responsibilities to one another. Inspired by the events of 2020 . . .

It’s not a prayer about winning or getting other people to see things our way, like some of the others I’ve seen. Whomever we support, we need to pray for strength for the next president, and for the whole country, to face what will be challenging times. . . . A Prayer on US Election Day, Tuesday, November 3rd 2020. . . . A prayer for the government on a day of violent insurrection in the heart of American democracy. . . . A prayer for America on the day upon which right-wing militias carried out an insurrection upon the representative democratic institution of the United States. . . . “A Prayer for Librarians” by Trisha Arlin was first shared via their website, Trisha Arlin: Words of Prayer and Intention, on 7 December 2024. . . . “Find the Lily” is a prayer-poem written in first person by Trisha Arlin. It was first shared via their website, Trisha Arlin: Words of Prayer and Intention, on 6 November 2024. . . . Categories: Congregation & Community Eight qualities are mentioned in the prayer: Peace, Blessing, Hope, Return, Promise, Strength, Life, Courage. You can pick one to focus on each night. (You can do them in the order they appear in if you like.) Where do you find that quality in you? Where do you find it in the world? What will a life, or a world, transformed by that quality look like? Feel like? . . .
