Our Prayers for Haiti

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti as they cope with unspeakable loss and devastation and attend to rebuilding their lives:

Praised are You, Lord our God, King of the universe who helps us in times of trouble.

Praised are You, Lord our God, King of the universe who guides us through times of darkness.

Praised are You, Lord our God, King of the universe who rescues those who are trapped.

Praised are You, Lord our God, King of the universe who provides new beginnings.

Praised are You, Lord our God, King of the universe who brings us to dry ground.

Praised are You, Lord our God, King of the universe who provides us with food and shelter.

Praised are You, Lord our God, who shows us the way out.

Praised are You, Lord our God, who gives courage to the victims and to the rescuers.

Praised are You, Lord our God, who gives people the privilege of helping other people.

Rabbi Stuart Seltzer
