PRAYERS FOR LOVED ONES.

We Are Loved By An Unending Love
Rabbi Rami Shapiro

We are loved by an unending love.

We are embraced by arms that find us
even when we are hidden from ourselves.
We are touched by fingers that soothe us
even when we are too proud for soothing.
We are counseled by voices that guide us
even when we are too embittered to hear.
We are loved by an unending love.

We are supported by hands that uplift us
even in the midst of a fall.
We are urged on by eyes that meet us
even when we are too weak for meeting.
We are loved by an unending love.

Embraced, touched, soothed, and counseled,
Ours are the arms, the fingers, the voices;
Ours are the hands, the eyes, the smiles;
We are loved by an unending love.

Why not pray to a rock.....Its pointless and a waste of time no matter WHO you pray to Because its not going to Make a difference in any aspect...EVER.

Psalm 66:20

Not true. In a study on the efficacy of prayer, patients who know they're being prayed to do worse than those who don't.

Prayer for Those Who Suffer

For those who suffer, and those who cry this night, give them repose, Lord; a pause in their burdens.
Let there be minutes where they experience peace, not of man but of angels.
Love them, Lord, when others cannot.
Hold them, Lord, when we fail with human arms.
Hear their prayers and give them the ability to hear You back in whatever language they best understand.
