Week 7: Focusing on Awe (Yirah)
C - Contemplate: “Awe and love are the two pillars of our Divine service. One of these pillars, indeed, holds the key to all the facets of this service, and that is awe.” (Rabbi Eliyahu de Vidas)
O - Observe: What inspires you most? What moves you to grow spiritually?
U - Use: “The beginning of wisdom is awe of the Divine.” (Proverbs 1:7)
N - Notice when you feel in touch with a sense of the Divine (sacred, transcendent, or whatever word resonates most with you) and which of your character traits strengthen this awareness. Notice also when you feel out of touch and the traits that weaken this awareness.
T - Try: Pray, meditate, or spend time in nature—with the intention to connect to both the Divine and to yourself—each day this week.
