You, oh Lord, abide for ever and will not for ever be angry with us, for You have taken pity on us who are earth and ashes; and so it was pleasing in Your sight to give new form to my deformity.
You goaded me within to make me chafe impatiently until You should grow clear to my spiritual sight. At the unseen touch of Your medicine my swelling subsided,
while under the stinging eye-salve of curative pain the fretful darkened vision of my spirit began to improve day by day.

St. Augustine of Hippo

Prayer and Meditation is a form of conscious contact with God in which an attempt is made to communicate our needs to God, and reflect upon the will of God. The meaning of meditation is derived from the Latin word meditari (to concentrate). Meditation is the process of deliberately focusing on specific thoughts (e.g. the will of God, a beautiful experience, a spiritual desire, or relief from specific mental or spiritual pain, etc.) and thinking on their meaning in the context of God's Love, and our perspective of that love. This type of meditation is intended to stimulate thought and receive a deeper understanding of God. It is for cultivating the personal relationship with God.

     I offer thanks to You, living and eternal King, for You have mercifully restored my soul within me; Your faithfulness is great.
    Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who removes sleep from my eyes and slumber from my eyelids.
    And may it be Your will, L-rd our G-d and G-d of our fathers, to accustom us to [study] your Torah, and to make us cleave to Your commandments.
    Do not bring us into sin, nor into transgression or iniquity, nor into temptation or scorn; and may the evil inclination not have mastery over us.
    Keep us far from an evil person and an evil companion. Make us cleave to the good inclination and good deeds; and compel our inclination to be subservient to You.
    Grant this day and every day, grace, kindness and mercy in Your eyes and in the eyes of all who behold us; and bestow bountiful kindness upon us.
    Blessed are You L-rd, who bestows bountiful kindness upon His people.
    Hear, O Israel, the L-rd is our G-d, the L-rd is One.
