Awe of God Toolbox: XII

The prayer Modeh Ani is a great tool to put in your toolbox.  It says, thank you for restoring my soul.  While I was sleeping You had my soul in your hands.  Or, the prayer, Elohai Neshama – the soul that You put in me is pure.  Even if all you say in the morning is Modeh Ani without the rest of the davening, that is a good effort to developing Awe of God.  Another bracha is Mechaye HaMetim – He who restores life to the dead.  That’s a pretty awesome thing!
