Anticipating Personal PrayerWho we are matters. What we do matters. How we do it matters, too. It has to. If this is not the case, if the first principle of Jewish belief is not human worth and dignity, then why should we worry about how we care for ourselves and treat others? And these are the things we worry about most.Is there anyone of us who doesn’t carry some concern over our health, or some concern about our children, grandchildren, or parents? Is there anyone of us who hasn’t felt disrespected or been insulted? Who do we admire for the goodness of their character and the merit of their deeds? Who do we mock for being callous or acting in an embarrassing way?Human behavior is inconsequential if people aren’t important. That is why our tradition asserts that we are created b’Tzelem Elohim, in God’s image. This religious belief still defines us. Living in God’s image endows our lives with significance and purpose.Reflecting in prayer, we wonder: How could life in this grand and glorious world be worthy of its beauty and its mystery if who we are is of little consequence? With this awareness, we come into God’s presence. Who we are matters. What we do matters. How we do it matters, too.
