Prayers in five words or less. :)

Hi all!

Well, I'll take my cue from Moses' elegant 5-word prayer in Numbers 12:13.

The English says:

And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying: 'Heal her now, O God, I beseech You.'

The simple beauty & elegance of the 5-word (with only 11 letters between them!) original Hebrew is utterly lost in the translation. In Hebrew, Moses says: "E-l na, r'fa na la"

So, I say, "E-l na, r'fa na lanu" which translates as, "Heal us now, O God, I beseech you!"

Be well!

That"ll work every time!

Acts 9
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?



That"ll work too.
