Prayer for People with AIDS
Topic: AIDS/HIV Prayer for People With AIDS Hear our prayer, O God of mercy and love, for all who suffer with AIDS. Grant unto them tender and loving companions who will support them in the midst of fear. Give them hope for each day to come that every day may be lived with courage and faith. Bless them with an abundance of your love that they may live with concern for others and not be obsessed with their own illness. Pour upon them the peace and wholeness which you alone can give.

Prayer for Those With Alzheimer's
Topic: Alzheimer's Prayer for Those With Alzheimer's My prayer is for all who bear the crosses of Alzheimer's and other dementias.

Giving Thanks to HaShem
Topic: Gratitude/Thanks Giving Thanks to HaShem Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto HaShem. This is the gate of HaShem; the righteous shall enter into it. I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone. This is HaShem'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which HaShem hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. We beseech Thee, O HaShem, save now! We beseech Thee, O HaShem, make us now to prosper! Blessed be he that cometh in the name of HaShem; we bless you out of the house of HaShem. HaShem is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee. O give thanks unto HaShem, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever. - Psalms 118: 19-29

Hannah's Prayer
Topic: Praise Hannah also prayed and said, "My heart exults in the LORD; my strength is exalted in the LORD. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in thy salvation. "There is none holy like the LORD, there is none besides thee; there is no rock like our God. Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble gird on strength. Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but she who has many children is forlorn. The LORD kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up. The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low, he also exalts. He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and on them he has set the world. "He will guard the feet of his faithful ones; but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness; for not by might shall a man prevail. The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them he will thunder in heaven. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king, and exalt the power of his anointed."
