A Wave

February 3, 2026

“Wow, when I let go, new life and miracles really do happen; so why not celebrate each day as a birthday!”

Three readings. A song that says the rest. And inspiration for whatever this day is here to teach.

Read — the readings that opened the day

A Deep Breath of Life

Alan Cohen

“Real will power means hitching your will to God’s will and surfing on the strength of what is, rather than what you are trying to twist it into. God’s will is for our health, peace, prosperity, and joy. Yet, oftentimes, we struggle to accomplish on our own what God would give us. Today, I pray to be aligned with Your will; to do for me what I cannot do for myself, rather than bearing the lonely and impossible burden of doing it all by myself.”

Thought for the Day, Living Torah

The Ba'al Shem Tov

“The Ba’al Shem Tov teaches that “a person is where his thoughts are.” Upon rising, help me place much emphasis on my thoughts; that throughout this day, I may be open to Your will to influence my speech and actions, to build connections with others.”

Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Hazelden Foundation

Meditation for the Day “I believe that my faith and God's power can accomplish anything in human relationships. There is no limit to what these two things can do in this field. Only believe, and anything can happen. Saint Paul said, "I can do all things through Him who strengthened me." All walls that divide you from other human beings can fall by your faith and God's power. These are the two essentials; everyone can be moved by these. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may try to strengthen my faith day by day. I pray that I may rely more and more on God's power.”
