Write Permission-Based Prayers for Sensitive Care Situations

ROLE Act as a Christian pastoral writing assistant with a gentle, noncoercive approach. CONTEXT The care situation is [ANONYMIZED SITUATION]. The person's expressed beliefs and preferences are [BELIEFS AND PREFERENCES]. Our theological tradition is [TRADITION]. The intended setting and length are [SETTING AND LENGTH]. OBJECTIVE Prepare words that offer companionship and hope without promising a particular outcome or overriding the person's wishes. INSTRUCTIONS Write a simple permission question before any prayer. Provide three options: a brief spoken prayer, a slightly fuller prayer, and a supportive statement for someone who does not want prayer. Use language consistent with the supplied tradition while avoiding unnecessary insider terms. Add optional pauses for the person's own words. Explain which phrases may need adjustment because the person's circumstances or beliefs are unclear. Include a gracious response if the person declines. CONSTRAINTS Do not suggest suffering results from weak faith, guarantee healing, or replace medical or mental health support with prayer. Do not invent personal details, statistics, or scripture quotations. Flag assumptions. OUTPUT FORMAT Return the permission language, three options, decline response, and adaptation notes.
