Blessed are You, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who has granted us another beautiful day in Your creation.

As we rise this morning, we recall the words from Your Holy Scriptures, "They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight." (Proverbs 20:11). We ask You, O Lord, to keep our hearts pure and our paths upright.

Help us to shun evil and to cling to what is good. Keep our hearts from being froward, from being perverse or contrary. Guide us in our decisions, our actions and our words, that we may always be pleasing in Your sight.

May our lives reflect the richness of our Jewish heritage and values. May we always remember our responsibility towards Tikkun Olam, the repair of the world, by practicing kindness, justice, and righteousness.

Help us to walk in the path of the just, for it is like the light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day. May our actions be a reflection of our love for You and our fellow human beings.

Blessed are You, O Lord, who delights in those who walk uprightly.

In Your Holy name, we pray. Amen.
