Morning Minyan: My Relationship With God

Thinking about God.

Last week we announced that for the month of September, in honor of the High Holydays (The Rosh and Yom Kip) we’d be throwing out some hard questions – in our Monday “Morning Minyan” weekly column -for you to ponder to yourself and with our TC Jewfolk community.
Here’s our first question.

If I could change one thing about my relationship with God, what would it be?

I say hello to God pretty much every day. As I like to say to people who ask about that, “What kind of a relationship would it be if I only called when I wanted something?”
I can always feel God say hello back. Sometimes, though, I think God is trying to say more to me, and I wish it were easier for me to interpret the messages I get.

I don’t know what I think about God. Does he/she exist? I find it hard to make sense of the tragedy in the world and say, yes, there is a God. And yet, when good things happen in my life, I thank God. I can’t quite make sense of it.
This year, I’d like to take more moments of peace and rest in my life, and connect to God through those moments of calm.

I’m often aware that I praise God for good things more often than recognizing God’s presence in times of despair. I hope that this year my eyes and heart are both open wider.
