We pray for those who have endured much
under many physicians, and are no better,
but rather grow worse.
We know about family calamity--
it has come to families we love.
It has come to families who for
generations have read your scriptures,
have proclaimed your word.

the rush of mighty waters
has reached them.
We know, but make us faithful
as we offer prayers to you,
O Great Physician.
