A Healing Prayer for Now
We pray, Mi Shebeirach, to the Source of blessing
Repair the rent garments of our souls
Stitch the ripped fabrics of our society
Bandage the holes in our hearts
Vaccinate us against systemic racism, abuse of power, and senseless hatred
Cure our sicknesses, treat our ailments, lighten the burden of our treatments
Give us strength, offer us relief, release us from suffering
Heal my dad, guard my mom
soothe my sister, love my brother
support my loved one, revive my friend
Nurture all who live in the in-between, notice all who are unseen
Renew our courage, restore our breaches, rescue our wholeness
and root us all in the ever sturdy Tree of Life…
Mi Shebeirach Nishmoteinu -
May the one who blesses all of our souls
bring us healing,
and bless us with love and understanding, wholeness and peace.
