THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

We think that we define freedom as being able to do whatever we want when we want. But this world does not allow us to do that. So we swing back and forth between freedom and a sense of imprisonment. But if you manage to achieve freedom from your own ambitions and desires, then you will actually move closer to the true nature of lasting freedom. - Pomnyun Sunim

A JEWISH BEDTIME PRAYER TO SOFTEN ANGER

5/19/2022

 
Though there may be times when anger feels unavoidable it is still important to defuse excessive anger and hostility from our hearts.  For that reason, Jewish teaching recommends offering this bedtime prayer before drifting off to sleep:  “Master of the Universe, I forgive all those who have caused me to become angry, and all those who have sinned against my body, my money, my honor or anything else that is mine . . . no one should be punished because of me.”

Commenting on that bedtime prayer, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin offers this reminder:  “For most of us, this prayer will not work the first time we recite it.  But repeating it night after night will help us become calmer and gain perspective.  We will be less likely to find ourselves consumed with grudges and anger, and more likely to feel forgiving toward, and less angry at, those who have hurt us.”
