[NEWHOPE]

WHEN WE AWAKEN IN THE MORNING, GOD graciously restores our soul (neshamah or nefesh) within us in order to experience another day of life.

The Modeh Ani, one of the first blessings a Jewish child is taught, expresses gratitude to God for the gift of a new day of life (note that women say "modah" instead of "modeh"):

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
