Today's Poem: When I Teach
When I teach, there are some who say
they could listen to me all day.
Others think I teach too long
and some think I go about it wrong.
Some say my teachings are much too deep
to others, it's shallow and they go to sleep.
Some report I hold them spell bound
while others squirm and look around.
Some speak of me as an orator
but others feel I'm a perfect bore.
Some believe I have no light
and others think I teach just right.
Some affirm that I'm too bold
others wink and say I'm cold.
Some used to say I was much too young
but others declare my spring has sprung!
Some people tell I have met success
others think my work is a mess.
Some have said my pay is too low
when they discover the pace I go.
Still others say it is above the peak
"why he only works thirty hours a week."
From all this, this is plain to see
that as a Torah teacher, I'm up a tree.
Condemned if I do, condemned if I don't
criticized if I will, criticized if I won't.
I can't please people of such discord
So I'll just keep trying to please the L-rd.
PRAYERS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT --- PART 3
Bless all Your people, the flocks of Your fold. Send down into our hearts the peace of heaven, and grant us also the peace of this life. Give life to the souls of all of us, and let no deadly sin prevail against us or any of Your people. Deliver all who are in trouble, for You are our YAHVEH, who sets the captives free; Who gives hope to the hopeless, and help to the helpless; Who lifts up the fallen; And who is the haven of the shipwrecked. Give your pity, pardon, and refreshment to every Christian soul, whether in affliction or error. Preserve us in our pilgrimage through this life from hurt and danger. And grant that we may finish our lives. As Christians who are well-pleasing to You and free from sin And that we may have our portion and lot with all Your saints; For the sake of Yeshua HaMashiach our Adonai and Saviour. (Numbers 33).
Enlighten us O Elohim, by Your Spirit, in the understanding of Your Word and grant us the grace to receive it in true fear and humility, that we may learn to put our trust in You, to fear and honour You, by glorifying Your Holy Name in all our life and to yield You the love and obedience which faithful servants owe to their master and children to their fathers, seeing it has led You to call us to the number of Your servants and children. (Deuteronomy 8).
Adonai, forgive me that when life’s circumstances lift me to the crest of the wave, I tend to forget Thee. Yet, like an errant child, I have blamed Thee with my every failure, even as I credit myself with every success. When my fears evaporate like the morning mist, then vainly I imagine that I am sufficient unto myself, that material resources and human resources are enough. I need Thee when the sun shines, lest I forget the storm and the dark. I need Thee when I am popular, when my friends and those who work beside me approve and compliment me. I need Thee more then, lest my head begin to swell. O YAHVEH, forgive me for my stupidity, my blindness in success, my lack of trust in Thee. Be Thou now my Saviour in success. Save me from conceit. Save me from pettiness. Save me from myself! And take this success, I pray, and use it for Thy glory. In Thy strength, I pray. (Deuteronomy 9).
We resign into Your hands our sleeping bodies, our cold hearths, and open doors. Give us to awaken with smiles; give us to labour smiling. As the sun returns in the east, so let our patience be renewed with dawn; as the sun lightens the world, so let our loving-kindness make bright this house of our habitation. (Deuteronomy 24).
Adonai Eloheinu teach us we pray, to ask rightly for the right blessings. Steer the vessel of our soul toward Your Heart, the tranquil Haven of all storm-tossed souls. Show us the way we should go. Renew a willing spirit within us. Let Your Spirit curb our wayward senses, and guide us to that which is our true good, to keep Your Laws and in all our works to rejoice in Your glorious and gladdening presence. For Yours is the glory and praise from all saints forever and ever. (Deuteronomy 30).
Grant us O Adonai, that with peace of mind we may face all that this new day is to bring. Help us to dedicate ourselves completely to Your Holy will. For every hour of this day, instruct and support us in all things. Whatever tidings we may receive during the day, teach us to accept tranquilly, in the firm conviction that all circumstances fulfil Your Holy Will. Govern our thoughts and feelings in all we do and say. When things unforeseen occur, let us not forget that everything comes from You. Teach us to behave sincerely and rationally toward every member of our family that we may bring confusion and sorrow to none. Bestow upon us our Adonai, strength to endure the fatigue of the day and to bear our part in all its passing events. Guide our will and teach us to pray, believe, hope, suffer, forgive and to love. (Joshua 1).
Adonai Elohim, great, eternal, wonderful in glory, cleanse us from our sins and from every thought displeasing to Thy goodness, cleanse our souls and bodies, our hearts and consciences that with a pure heart and a clear mind, with perfect love and calm hope, we may venture confidently and fearlessly to pray unto Thee, through Yeshua HaMashiach our Adonai. (Joshua 7).
Give us O Adonai, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downward; give us an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give us an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon us also, Adonai Elohim, understanding to know You, diligence to seek You, wisdom to find You and a faithfulness that may finally embrace You; through Yeshua HaMashiach our Saviour. (Joshua 12).

Thought for today: Thursday September 23: Messiah's Gift
The way of salvation is not to keep postponing or sitting and waiting for it to fall into your lap, but to come and take hold of it.
But now a Righteousness from G-d, apart from the law, has been made known... the Righteousness from G-d comes through faith in Yeshua Mashiach to all who believe ---- Rom. 3:21-22
Just as I am, dirty and black of heart, I come to You Adonai in my distress. You are the One Who never rejects any sinner and therefore, O Lamb of G-d, I turn to You, amein
