HASIDIC ON AWAKENING PRACTICE AND PRAYER

When you awake in the morning
immediately remember
that the blessed Creator has acted toward you with
goodness and kindness,
for He has returned the soul to you;
the soul that fills your whole body. . . .

Before opening your eyes,
draw the Creator to you—
likewise with your ears, mouth, and mind.

If you follow this practice,
all your deeds will be holy that day,
as it is written, 'I foretell the end from the beginning.'

-- translated from on-awakening Hasidic practice-prayer (lifted from Fr Richard Rohr's "Daily Meditation," July 2, 2022)
