Name three good things you're grateful for today. Mine: 1) All three kids slept late, a VERY rare occurrence! 2) Got to see my BFF (best Facebook Friend) at the market today. 3) Hashem answered the prayers of a friend, thanks to Gidon Ariel and his Holy Prayer Society, after EXACTLY FORTY DAYS!!! Thank you Hashem!

As someone who has worked closely with Gidon Ariel on other projects, and has an inside look at how he conducts his personal affairs, I can attest to the veracity and integrity of the promises made on this site. Each member is prayed for daily without exception, exactly as is promised.

Dear Gidon,

Thank you that you prayed for me, it means so much to me.

And I want to thank you and your wife Devra for sharing an import part of your life's. I didn't know about what you called a "little scare". http://bit.ly/ChayimZvi

I read it very carefully, with tears in my eyes. It must have been a hard time for you and your family. I hope with whole my heart that everything is ok with your son Chayim Zvi and he may have a happy life. God is really loving you!!

I had also cried because for the first time in my life I have met someone (all is this just through the Internet) who sees God's Hand in everything too. God who shows us miracles every day and gives us massages in all kind of ways. Like Devra wrote "... clear message to those that want to see it that there is a Grand Master running the show. Nothing is random. Everything has a purpose. This is tremendously comforting. We might not understand why, but the knowledge that there is a purpose to whatever we are experiencing, that it is part of a master plan, gives us the strength to accept and move forward."

I know that God let me to go through this experience not just for me alone. During the process I knew God was telling me something, that He let me experience something and afterwards it was clear to me. He couldn't have giving me a bigger present. I know now that I am not imagining things, but that they are true.

Thank you Gidon en Devra for being in my life.

And thank You God that You let them come in to my life.

May God bless you all.

Want to wish you and your family L' Shana Tova!!

It is the start of a new year, and wishing you all the best Hashem provides.

God bless you and God bless Israel.

p.s: Thanks for praying for me - there has been some progress. Its only alittle, but Hashem has been hearing the prayers - and have His Shalom. Thankyou.

My health was not great, but Hashem has been good - it is much better now (after prayer).

I have Shalom, and think it all came with love for Israel and desperation to connect with people of Israel. Am so glad we connected and you prayed for me. I had prayed for years with no fruit.

Also, at work, my boss has complimented me! I really thought that was impossible, but Hashem does answer prayer. It is time to praise Him with joy. Hoping for abundant blessings, Hashem can decide - if its His will it is good, otherwise it is still good.

Blessed be Hashem who is just and the true judge.

Thank you for helping me with prayer Gidon.

[My husband] Hal accepted a position as a CFO of a health care group. The place is established, offered what Hal was looking for, and is located less than a 10 minute drive from the house.
Thanks, I am sure your prayers helped.

Dear Gidon Ariel,

Joining your Prayer Society was one of the best things I had done this year! Thank you for your prayers.

Also, my boyfriend and I received blessings today from Hashem. I believe that this miracle happened for us with the help of prayer and faith.

Even though my faith in this blessing was not good, my faith in Hashem helping me in some way or another was great!

Shalom,

Dear Gidon,

Since joining the Holy City Prayer Society, your prayers have helped me secure a temporary work contract, which means more money to enable me to help others.

HaShem has again strengthened me, and through
your prayers, healing and health have come speedily!

May HaShem continue to bless your activities. The mitzvot (good deeds) undertaken by you and those who pray for members will not be forgotten by HaShem.

G-d bless,

How can I be sure that these prayers will help?

While we are confident that God recognizes our needs and hears our prayers, we are equally confident that His ways are often unknowable by us, until one Day in the future.

No one can guarantee what answers God gives to those who pray, but in the long run, we believe that prayer is good for the one who prays and the one who is prayed for.

Personal prayer straight from Jerusalem - it's like a local phone call to G-d.

Slide

Thank you so much for your prayers.
Two doors have opened for me in the past two months.
The first one is that G-d has made a way for me to
take a Hebrew correspondence course! This is something
I have wanted to do for several years now.

The second one is G-d has made a way for me to get an apartment of my own (I have been staying with friends).

I continue to pray for my son, Tommy.
I thank you for your prayers for him.

I also continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem,
and for all of you there in the Holy Land.

Shalom,

In the future if it's meant to be I will go there to Israel to pray at the center of the world.

Shalom,It is an honor to have you pray for me...

I feel in my heart to pray for the Holy City Prayer Society daily...

I surely wish I had a Hebrew name. That would be most special to me if there was a way to have one...

I just want you to know that though I have just been added to prayer list ...I feel a greater deeper drawing toward my God...As the scripture says ...God you are my God ...... Early will I seek you... My soul thirsts for you... My flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land... Where there is no water... So I have looked for you in the sanctuary, to see your power and glory.

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

Thus I will bless you while I live; I will lift up my hands in your name....

I love God so very much. He is the love of my life... I feel the love the Prayer Society has for the mighty one of Israel...

It makes my heart glad to share with you a love the world cannot know or give...

Well, sometimes I get so caught up in Him I could just keep writing about my love for Him...

May the Lord God Almighty bless you!

Overflowing with His Goodness, His Love, Much Grace and Mercy...

Dear Gidon,

Thank you so very much. I am going through a trying time at the moment, but I believe God is cutting all unholy ties (even with another child of His).

I am at a cross-road in my life. I need to know where the Lord is taking me, and what I am to do with the rest of my life.

Thank you for your prayers.

Shalom Gidon,

Like I promised, here a small massage from what happened after you started saying prayers for me.

The Beit Din in the Netherlands suddenly changed. Rav J.S. Jacobs, Shlita, became the head of the Beit Din. With him I already had an interview just a few days before I wrote to you in September. Last week Rav M. Stiefel, Shlita, who is my mentor and is an direct assistant of Rav Jacobs, told me last week that it wasn't an "if" I would do gioer anymore, but that it was "how" he would lead me to my gioer. This was a real compliment for me and it made me very happy. Baroech HaShem.

With whole my heart I hope that Shay feels that you and I are praying for him; that he is not standing alone in his fight for a good and happy life. That there are people who love him for whom he is and are willing to fight and pray for him.

I thank you so much for all the prayers you are davening for Shay and me.
THANK YOU

May God bless you.

(Sissi Pas)

Gidon,

Shabbat Shalom to you, your wonderful wife and family, and to all the Holy City Prayer Society team.

You know, I really can't tell you exactly why, but all I can say is that I am very excited being a member of the Holy City Prayer Society. I'm grateful to G-D Almighty for having me a part of such wonderful organization.

As an individual, I believe in the powers of a miraculous G-D (...the G-D of Israel) I believe in the powers of prayer... and that's why I pray, and ask other to pray for me as well.

Here's a little about me:

I am from Africa. I was born and raised in the small West African nation of Liberia, unto Christian parents. I was raised in a Christian home.

I've lived in the Unted States for approximately 10 years.

I consider myself an Evangelical Christian.

I'm a Conservative Evangelical Christian. I keep the Jewish Shabbat (the 7th day), and eat only kosher. I do the best... the very best I can to keep the Holy Days and High Holy Days. I observe Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement), on an annual basis.

I also consider myself a Christian-Zionist, which can be interpreted that I believe that the Jews are the chosen people of G-D; that all Israel is a Holy Nation and People; that the land of Israel is a Promised Land... promised to Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaacov; that Jerusalem is a Holy City... and for the Jews and Jews alone.

I'm pro-Israel. By that I support the Nation and People of the State of Israel in prayers, and bless them financially and economically, whenever I have the opportunity to do so. I'm even willing to volunteer in the Israel Defense Force (IDF), that is if the authorities would allow me to do so.

Thank you so very much, and may the Unique One (Blessed Is He), remember your good deeds unto righteousness.

Shabbat Shalom,

Michael

Thanksgiving Prayer (Hodu) - Part One

This poem is from 1 Chronicles, chapter 16. King David sang it when he was bringing the Ark of the Lord to Giv'on:
Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.
Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.
Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.
Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth,
O seed of Israel His servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.
He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your inheritance.”
When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it,
And they wandered about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people,
He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes, saying,
“Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”
Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place.
Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the LORD in holy array.
Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.”
Let the sea roar, and all it contains; Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD; For He is coming to judge the earth.
O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name, And glory in Your praise.”
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. Then all the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.

Blessing over Morning Psalms

Bless the One who spoke and the world sprang into existence; bless Him!
Bless the Maker of Creation! Bless the One who speaks and does; Bless the One who decrees and follows through!
Bless the One who has mercy upon the earth; Bless the One who has mercy upon His creatures!
Bless the One who pays a good reward to those who fear Him! Bless the One who lives forever and ever;
Bless the One who redeems and delivers!
You are the Source of Blessing, O Lord our God, King of the world, O God and merciful Father; praised by the
mouth of Your people, lauded and glorified by Your pious ones, and Your worshipers! As we praise You, O Lord
our God, with the songs of David Your servant, with praises and psalms we glorify You, and mention Your name,
and proclaim You our King, O our God, the Only One, the One who lives throughout all eternity; O King, praised
and glorified be Your great name for ever and ever.

You are the Source of Blessing, O Lord, the King who is extolled with praises.

Psalm 30

A psalm by David sung at the dedication of the temple.
I will honor you highly, O LORD, because you have pulled me out of the pit and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O LORD my God, I cried out to you for help, and you healed me.
O LORD, you brought me up from the grave. You called me back to life from among those who had gone into the pit.
Make music to praise the LORD, you faithful people who belong to him. Remember his holiness by giving thanks.
His anger lasts only a moment. His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may last for the night, but there is a song of joy in the morning.
When all was well with me, I said, "I will never be shaken."
O LORD, by your favor you have made my mountain stand firm. When you hid your face, I was terrified.
I will cry out to you, O LORD. I will plead to the Lord for mercy:
"How will you profit if my blood is shed, if I go into the pit? Will the dust of my body give thanks to you? Will it tell about your truth?"
Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me! O LORD, be my helper!
You have changed my sobbing into dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy
so that my soul may praise you with music and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

This beautiful poem extols the King of the Universe, starting with His eternity and omnipotence,
and ending with His closeness to whoever chooses to be close to Him.

Adon Olam

Master of the World, Who reigned before any creation was made,
When all was done according to His will, at that moment–"King" was His name.
And after all shall be finished, he shall rule alone in His awesomeness.
And he was, and he is, and he will be in glory.
And He is One, there is no second to compare to Him or that can align with Him.
Without beginning, without end, and His is power and sovereignty.
And He is my God, my Living Redeemer, and my Rock when I am afflicted at times of trouble.
And He is my banner and refuge, my cup's portion the day I call.
Into His hand I commit my spirit when I go to sleep until I awake.
And when my last breath comes and leaves my body an empty shell, the Lord is mine, I know no fear.

Prayer For The Soul

This prayer is traditionally said each morning. It sets the tone for the entire day, recognizing that without0
God's gift of rejuvenating our souls every day, even every minute, we would be no more than an empty shell.

My God!

The soul that You have given me is holy. You created it, You made it, You instilled it within me.
You guard over it inside me, and one day You will take it from me, and return it to me One Day in the future.

As long as my soul is inside me, I thank You, my God and God of my fathers, master of all creations, creator of all souls.

You are the Source of all blessings, God, Who returns souls to the dead.

Thanks For Bodily Functions

"A healthy soul in a healthy body," goes the saying. And we have no one to thank for our
physical health but the Chief Human Engineer Who created us all in His infinite wisdom.

This prayer is traditionally recited after leaving the restroom:

You are the Source of Blessing, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who fashioned man
with wisdom, and created within him many openings and many cavities.

It is clearly known before Your Throne of Glory that if one of the organs which is closed should
open, or if one of the open ones should close, it would be impossible to exist and stand before you, even for a moment.

You are the Source of Blessing, God, who heals all flesh and performs wonders.

Modeh Ani

This prayer is said upon rising in the morning, before any other activity or speaking.

I acknowledge and thank You,
living and everlasting King,
for my soul which You have returned to me,
in great grace and loving kindness.

Your faith is wondrous.
