To sign "God bless you," start with the sign for "God" by raising your dominant hand with an open, flat handshape, palm facing sideways, and moving it straight down in front of your face. Then, sign "bless" by bringing both hands to your mouth in 'A' handshapes (fists with thumbs resting on the side). Move both hands forward and slightly downward toward the person you are talking to, opening them into flat hands with palms facing down.
Sign "safe" and "trip," then follow with the "God bless you" sequence, directing the final "bless" motion toward the person who is leaving.
After signing "help me," use the "God bless you" sign to express deep gratitude, ensuring your facial expression conveys warmth and sincerity.
In ASL, you can use this sign after someone sneezes, though simply signing "bless" (skipping the sign for "God") is also very common in this context.

No, you do not need to add a separate sign for "you." The sign for "bless" is directional. By moving your hands forward toward the person you are speaking to, you are already indicating that the blessing is directed at them.
Yes, you can use this full phrase when someone sneezes. However, in casual everyday situations, it is also very common to just sign "bless" (the second part of the phrase) without signing "God" first.
For the sign "God," use an open, flat handshape with your fingers together. Your palm should face sideways (toward your non-dominant side) as your hand moves straight down in front of your face and chest.
