Blessed are You Adonai Elohim, for You have called us into life to know You and to love You. You invite us to experience the joy of coming into Your presence and to delight in Your grace. YHVH Tsidkenou we come depending on Your grace and goodness and we ask that You will forgive us of our sins, that You will send Your angels to all who are called by Your Name that they may drive satan and his followers back, so we will not come into temptation but You will lift us out of this hole of sin. YHVH Rohi, may we follow in Your footsteps that our lives show the joy of knowing You and Your love. Let all preachers, pastors, rabbi’s, ministers and all teachers of Your Word encourage all who hear them to come to You in love. Bless all who seek to extend our lives by a vision of Your grace and goodness. We pray for all sermon writers and broadcasters. YHVH Shammah, as we enter into Shabbat, may we show our joy in Your presence. We ask Your blessing upon all who encourage us to relax, to be still and to be attentive. We pray for artists and musicians, crafts people and gardeners and for all who beautify our world. We pray for all who live in deprived and derelict areas and pray especially for the world’s poor. YHVH Yireh, we thank You for the love and attention we have received through our homes and dear ones. We ask Your blessing upon our loved ones, families, friends and our communities in which we live and work. We pray for all who strive to improve our environment. We pray for all who are homeless, those who live on the streets and for those who go hungry tonight. YHVH Rophe, we thank You for our wellbeing. We ask Your blessing upon all who are sad or depressed and all whose lives are darkened with troubles. We pray for all who are ill, injured or on their death bed tonight. We ask Your blessing upon their loved ones who care for them and ask that You will provide comfort for them. We pray for all carers, hospital workers and all emergency staff. YHVH Nissi, You invite us all into Your presence and into eternal life. Help us not to lose sight of the eternal through the clamour and call of the world. We thank You for this night in which we can rest and ask that You will keep us safe. We pray this pray in the Name above all names, Yeshua Moshiach, amein.

Physical circumcision is meaningless without spiritual circumcision. It can't make you an Israelite. Conversion to Judaism is worse than worthless. Circumcision of the heart is the only one that matters in the end. If you think converting to Judaism is going to "save" you somehow, you'll only end up like Shechem in Genesis 34: in physical pain and spiritual death.
