Our Father, Our King —
We have done wrong before You.
Let this be a good year for us.
Destroy the power of every oppressor.
Remove from all Your children disease, war, famine, exile, and destruction.
Forgive and pardon all our wrong-doing.
May we return to You in earnest repentance.
Send complete healing to all who are sick.
Inscribe us in Your book for a life of goodness.
Inscribe us in the book of sustenance.
Inscribe us in the book of meritorious acts.
Inscribe us in the book of forgiveness and reconciliation.
Show mercy to us and our children.
Open the gates of heaven to our prayer.
Do it for the sake of those who went through fire and water to honor Your name.
Be gracious and respond to us, for we have too few good deeds; act towards us with justice tempered by love, and redeem us.
