O God, in our hearts, we name those men, women, and children who are now suffering from physical, emotional, or spiritual illness and pain. We join our prayers with the prayers of all who love them. Give them renewed comfort and courage.
Strengthen in them the healing powers You have placed within us all. Guide the hands and hearts of those who are entrusted with their care.
May the knowledge of Your love, O God, as well as our love, give added hope to them and to their dear ones. May they find even greater strength in the assurance that our prayers are linked with theirs.
BA-RUKH ATA A-DO-NAI, RO-FAY HA-CHO-LEEM. We praise You, O Lord, the Source of healing and health.
-Based on prayer from Temple Israel, Memphis, Tennessee
