or expressing appreciation. They can help change how we feel about things.
Think about the Bangkok earthquake. At first, you feel fear—that’s normal. But here’s what Judaism teaches us:
When we feel scared, we can say a blessing to remember The Creator’s power: “Blessed are You, The Creators, whose strength fills the world.”
Here’s what’s special:
Saying this blessing changes how we feel.
The fear doesn’t just go away; it changes. Fear becomes awe.
Now you’re not just scared; you’re amazed, too.
Blessings aren’t just words.
They help us feel awe even when we’re unsure or afraid.
Have you ever felt better after saying a prayer or blessing?
I’d love to hear your stories.
“Feeling afraid? You’re halfway to awe.”
