Let My People Know

"May we be able to distinguish between major and minor issues"

 

Let us pray that the Almighty give us wisdom–wisdom of the mind and wisdom of the heart–that will enable us to do what should be done and to refrain from what should not be done; 

May our actions be motivated not by our passions or ephemeral considerations; 

And may we be able to distinguish between major and minor issues, between the important and the worthless–and to choose properly.
