Say. (Answering "do YOU actually" literally, telling you what I actually
do, not arguing shitos.)

There are suggested coinages for asking for refu'ah or for aiding someone
in doing teshuvah. And with children who have chronic medical issues and
others who are OTD, I say each pretty often. But their existence implies
that however it is you ask -- whether some acharon's suggestion or what
you're moved to say "off-the-cuff" -- it involves articulated words.

Tir'u baTov!
