Modern science has shown that expressing gratitude has many positive effects, from improved health to greater happiness. Modeh Ani is another morning prayer that expresses thanks for the daily miracle of renewed life. 
You Shall Be Joyful
Jewish tradition requires one to be happy, but are our emotions really in our control?
Prayer has been the foundation of Jewish ritual and practice for thousands of years, but you may still wonder how and why to say the prayers in the canon. At My Jewish Learning, we invite you to explore the deeper side of prayer. Each week we'll share a unique exploration of a particular Jewish prayer, plus offer background materials and more to enhance your understanding. In the meantime, you can explore all of MJL's prayer resources here.
