Elohai Netzor is a private prayer recited in a whisper at the closing of the Amidah.
Creator of the Universe,
Protect our thoughts from selfishness
And our lips from speaking in desperation.
Â
Help us to refrain from desires to hoard
And to choose instead to share with others.
Â
Let us be counted on to spread peace and sane rationality.
Â
May our words of prayer
And our heartfelt meditations
Reach You, stir You,Â
And cause You to remember all Your children with favor.
Â
You are our source,
Our bedrock foundation,
We turn to You now, in this time of crisis,
And we plead for Your shelter and protection.
Â
Even now, amidst this pandemic,
We know that our lives are in Your hands
Our souls forever in Your keeping.Â
Â
Grant us Your unending compassion,
Showering us with health and well being.
Â
We ask that in Your mercy
You watch over us,
Over everyone,
And hold us allÂ
In the sunlit warmth of Your Love.
Â
Amen
