SHABBAT/YOM TOV PRAYER - ENGLISH VERSION

A prayer for those who need to make a phone call on Shabbat/Yom Tov. (In a crisis, please do not delay.)

Dear God,

As I make a call to reduce my distress and suffering, may I feel you here with me.

When I call out, may the person on the other end fully answer me. 

May we see ourselves in Tzelem Elohim - the image of God - as we reenact the words, "Yikraani v'aanahu, imo anochi b'tzara." 

"They will call out to Me and I will answer them. I am with them in distress" (Psalm 91).

May I find comfort and safety in this call and may I be close to You now and always.
