The shortest

The shortest prayer recorded in the Torah is the prayer of Moses when he discoveres that his sister Miriam has been afflicted with leprosy. He cries out to God from the depth of his being: "Please, Lord, heal her now."His prayer is as searing as it is simple, and it captures his anguish and his complete faith in God that his prayer can and will be answered.

I ask you now, Please g-d, heal her now.
