I received this article from “My Jewish Learning” (I enjoy receiving their informative and interesting daily emails!) .

The petition for atonement of sins by one’s own death – took me by surprise – there in black and white … and it greatly saddened me – the ultimate rejection – even at death’s door – of God’s atonement for our sins in Jesus the Messiah. But this is consistent with what the Apostle Paul has written about not submitting to God’s righteousness, but trying to establish their own righteousness (Rom 10). Continued prayers for the salvation of the lost sheep of the House of Israel!

מודה אני לפניך ה’ אלהי ואלהי אבותי שרפואתי ומיתתי בידך. יהי רצון מלפניך שתרפאני רפואה שלימה ואם אמות תהא מיתתי כפרה על כל חטאים ועונות ופשעים שחטאתי ושעויתי ושפשעתי לפניך ותן חלקי בגן עדן וזכני לעוה”ב הצפון לצדיקים

I acknowledge before You, Adonai, my God and God of my ancestors, that my recovery and my death are in Your hands. May it be Your will to heal me completely. And if I die, may my passing be an atonement for all the sins that I have committed, and grant me my portion in Gan Eden, and allow me to merit the World to Come, which has been reserved for the righteous.

If a person is too weak to say this entire paragraph, they can recite this sentence:

יהי רצון שתהא מיתתי כפרה על כל עונותי

May it be Your will that my death be an atonement for all my sins.
