God, You have been God of the Jewish people for a long, long time.
You are my God, too.
Even though life is sometimes short,
You will be God forever.
God, I have not always done things just right.
Sometimes I have done things very wrong.
I have not always made good choices.
I have not always listened.
I have not always helped others who needed help.
I have not always told the truth.
I am sorry that I did not always do my best.
God, please forgive me.
Please help me feel forgiven.
Please help others to know that I did not want to hurt them.
Please help them to forgive me.
God, You are the Creator of everything.
Because of You, babies are born and people die.
Please take care of me now just like you did when I was born.
Please watch over me, keep me safe, and help me to feel protected.
God, thank you for my family.
They take good care of me, especially when I am sick.
Please watch over them, keep them safe, and help them to feel protected.
Please help them to know that I love them.
You have always been God.
You are my God.
You will be God forever and ever.
Thank you for being my God.
Shema Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad.
Hear O Israel, Adonai is our God, Adonai is One.
Adonai Hu Ha-Elohim. Adonai Hu Ha-Elohim.
Adonai is God. Adonai is God.
