A Prayer for Putting on a Mask

One of the best ways for kids and teens to learn to pray throughout the day is to “pin” prayer to an activity they regularly do. The prayer might be unrelated to the task (e.g. I used to say a prayer about my relationships every morning when I was brushing my teeth) or it might be specific to the task. Here’s a prayer I wrote for the act of putting on a mask. I was inspired by the blessings for wearing masks my Jewish colleagues had shared, as described in this article.
