Have compassion upon us for Your sake, for the sake of Your honour; help me and save me so that I merit from now on to really and wholeheartedly arouse myself to Your devotion and Your fear. Let me merit from now on to return in perfect repentance before You. Let me adorn myself and others, to speak to their hearts and reveal to them the truth; returning them in complete repentance before You, in order that Your great and holy glory be extolled by me. When those most distant from You really come close to You, this is the prime aspect of Your glory, for then the Name of the Holy One, may He be blessed, is made known and honoured in all the worlds, above and below. Therefore, have mercy upon me and bring me close to You, even though I am very far from You. Transfer merit through me so that others who are far from You will come close to You because of me. May Your great glory be extolled and sanctified by me, even though I am far away from You.
Help me, support me, strengthen me and encourage me so that I merit to raise the glory of holiness from the indignity of exile and may I always raise and extol Your great and holy glory. Help me so that I merit to raise the glory to its source, which is awe of G-d. Bestow upon me Your holy awe so that I merit to always fear You, to fear this glorious and awesome Name. Help me to achieve perfect fear, to achieve real awe of Your grandeur. In Your bountiful mercy, let me really and wholeheartedly honour those who fear the Lord. May we really nullify ourselves before them and really give them all the honour. Let this be in such a way that the blemishes to fear be rectified by us and we merit perfect fear, without any blemish at all. Fulfill in us the verse which says: “Fear the Lord His righteous ones, for there is no lack to those who fear Him.” By this, may we merit to real perfection let Your fear always be upon our faces so that we shall never sin at all, for evermore. By this fear, let us merit to peace, peace within ourselves by the body being nullified and included within the holy soul. As a result , let us always really perform Your will. May we merit to perfect prayer so You always hearken to our prayers. Draw peace into the world.
O Lord, our God and God of our fathers, may it be Your will that, in Your bountiful mercy, You have mercy upon me and nullify completely the attribute of pride from me. Let there be no element of pride in my heart at all. May I really and truly know my own baseness and let me merit to completely nullify myself, such that I see myself even less than my very base level.
Please Lord, in Your compassion, help me so that nothing can confuse my mind or mislead me, Heaven forbid, by any foolish thoughts of any pride or self-importance. In my oppression, immense pressure and great distance from You, the troubles of my soul have grown a very great deal, for a long time already. "I looked and there was no one to help and I wondered and there was no one to support." I have no choice other than to always cry out to You, to hope for Your compassion, Your salvation and Your loving-kindness. If, Heaven forbid, because of my immense distance from You there comes into my confused mind, Heaven forbid, this nonsense and confusion of pride and self-importance, then my hope is lost, Heaven forbid, for how can a worthless person such as myself merit to any good? I am full of the sins, iniquities and willful transgressions that I've committed against You from my youth until today, in thought, speech and deed, unintentionally and on purpose, by force of circumstance or willfully.
Please Lord, teach me what I should cry out to You. Inform me how to plead before You, wholeheartedly, in such a way that I can effectively make my request and be heard in mercy before You. Help me to return in perfect repentance to You, and to be as You desire from now on. Let me never stray from Your will or from Your commandments, whether to the right or left. Let me merit, in Your bountiful mercy, to break and nullify the attribute of pride completely. May no aspect of pride or haughtiness enter my mind at all as a result of things that usually cause pride, whether wisdom, good deeds, strength or wealth. Rather, let me merit to really be humble and lowly in all of these things, so that I shouldn’t become proud or haughty as a result of them.
However, I know Lord, that I am ignorant. I am empty and lack all these things. "I am more brutish than any man and haven’t the understanding of man." I have no strength or boldness, in body or soul. My house is empty of wealth; I have no wisdom or boldness, I have neither physical wealth nor spiritual wealth of good deeds. According to my present worthlessness and lowliness and my very, very lowly spiritual level and my immense distant from You, I certainly shouldn’t need to pray at all to nullify my pride. However, You know the evil of our hearts and the turbidness of our minds and the confusions of our thoughts until, even in the midst of our distance from You, they confuse and mix up our minds very much with this nonsense and confusion of thoughts of self-interest and pride, such that the war is on all sides. As You know, they leave us no way of escaping to You, Lord our G-d and G-d of our fathers. However, even so, I still await, look forward to, wish for and really hope for Your salvation, at all times, in your bountiful mercy. We know that You are full of mercy at all times. You search the hearts and kidneys and know all hidden things. You know that in the inner most depths of our hearts we desire and long very much to really come closer to you, to always really fulfill Your will without any thoughts of self-interest or confusion. Therefore, have mercy upon us for Your sake, our Father in Heaven, Master of all. In Your bountiful mercy, grant us merit so that we nullify and drive out from us the attribute of pride, completely and utterly. Let me merit, in absolute truth, to all the aspects of humility, to be really lowly and humble before every person in the world, before great, ordinary or insignificant people, even before the most insignificant of all. In my many iniquities I've become more insignificant than the most insignificant people. Let me merit to know and feel my true lowliness, in all my limbs, until I merit to be really humble, lowly and insignificant in my own eyes, even more than my lowly and insignificant spiritual level. May I merit to really reach absolute self-nullification, as You desire.
Please Lord, I know that my words are confused and my language full of blemishes. I don’t know how to arrange my prayers and supplications before You, but I rely upon You, for you hear all prayers. You, who are full of mercy, have compassion upon me and let me merit to be as You desire, from now on, for ever. Help me so that I merit to real humility.
Help me from now on to leave my evil ways and confused evil thoughts which confuse me and prevent me from going on the good, straight path. Help me to draw back from these evil thoughts. Grant me strength to drive out, throw away and nullify all these thoughts which bother my mind. These are my accusers and they’ve caused me to become distant from You. Rise to my assistance; purify and sanctify my thoughts and let me merit from now on to attach my thoughts to You in truth and simplicity forevermore.
Please Lord, have pity on my soul. In Your bountiful compassion, command the removal of the filthy clothes in which I have clothed my soul because of my bad deeds, my sins, iniquities and willful transgression that I’ve committed before You. These filthy clothes, produced by our sins, they are what prevent and delay us from rally returning to You. You know Lord, our G-d, how very great and many are the efforts we have to strive to make, before succeeding to break these obstacles, veils and iron curtains which separate us from holiness. You know how very far away we are from You because of this. Therefore, please arouse Your mercy upon us; take pity and have mercy on our souls, spirits and higher souls. Command Your holy angels to remove the filthy clothes from me and to clothe me in festive attire so as to nullify all the obstacles and iron curtains which separate, veil and make barriers between myself and holiness. It is impossible for now to do anything properly and perfectly in the realm of holiness as You know. All these veils and obstacles, let them be completely nullified so that I merit to really return to You, so that I merit to really turn away from evil from now on and to always do that which is good in Your eyes.
Master of the World, let me not to want engage in any business concerning matters of this world other than for the sake of my higher soul. So also may all my prayers be intended for the complete rectification of my higher soul. Even in those prayers where the needs of the body are mentioned, such as the blessing ‘cure us’ and ‘bless for us…this year’ – even there may my intention be only for the cure of my higher soul, its needs and its perfection. May I truly believe and know that when the spiritual side becomes rectified so the material side will automatically become rectified. By this, grant me automatically all the bounty, good and blessings that I need materially. Let me merit to sincerely believe in You, with perfect faith. Let me believe that You are good to all, that’s to say, good for all the things a person needs, whether a cure, or an income and such like. Whatever a person lacks, You are ‘good for all’, fulfilling all a person’s wishes and supplying all that he lacks when he sincerely prays for them with mercy and entreaties. May all our efforts be only in asking from God. Let us only pray before You with mercy and with entreaties for anything we need and not chase after all sorts of other means. Why should we strive for such means, for usually it is very difficult to achieve them, such as the medicines needed to cure and, so also, all the matters related to livelihood etc. Isn’t it better to ask and plead before You for everything, for You are always present and very close to us. You can fulfill all our wishes very simply, for nothing is beyond You. And so, may all our efforts be always to multiply our prayers and entreaties. May we merit to always pray in very great devotion until, by this, the all-embracing peace be drawn into the world, peace in all the worlds, such that all the worlds approach perfection. So also, may peace be drawn into the world between all beings so that they have compassion for one another and that there may be harmony between them. By this, draw loving-kindness and compassion automatically on all beings, as the Sages said, “Anyone who has mercy on others, in Heaven they will have mercy upon him.” Fulfill the verse which says: “The Lord is good to all; His mercy extends over all His works.”
May it be Your will, Lord, our G-d, the G-d of our Fathers, that You grant me and to all Your Nation, the House of Israel, the ability engage in studuing Your holy Torah with holiness and purity, by day and by night, until we merit, by studying the holy Torah, to awaken the roots of the souls of Israel that were in the mind of G-d at the beginning of creation and which are rooted in the letters of the holy Torah. Help us Lord that our studying Torah will radiate and awaken the roots of the souls of Israel. May these souls radiate and sparkle one to another until the souls of the wicked and sinners of Israel among them are awakened and sparkle such that the radiance of the roots of their souls reach them; let them all be aroused to complete repentance and truly return to You. By this sparkling of the souls let souls of converts be created and born until those who are distant will convert and recognize the power of Your Kingship and all really serve You. If, however, in my poverty of mind, I am very distant from studying Torah in holiness such as this, distant from awakening the souls of others to repentance, at least, in Your immense compassion, have mercy upon me and merit me by studying the holy Torahto be included within the soul of the true tzaddik of the generation who studies Torah with such holiness, that I become aroused by it. May my soul shine and sparkle in its source among the rest of the holy souls of the Children of Israel, , in the Supernal Thought of the Holy One, may He be blessed.Then let the radiance from the root of my soul reach me, until that I merit to truly return to You in complete repentance.
May I merit to have tranquility within myself. Cure me, spiritually and physically, in such a way that I merit to be complete, truly perfect, without any defect or blemish! Master of the World, I know that I am very for from perfection and I am full of very many defects and flaws, from head to toe. There is no soundness in me. “There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger; nor is there any health in my bones because of my sin.” All my limbs are full of blemishes that I caused to my soul by my many iniquities and sins. Because of this I am far away from truly serving You. I cannot even perform one act of worship. I do not merit to recite any prayer perfectly, as I should, for ‘anyone who has a blemish in him may not approach’. Since I am far away from prayer, by what can I merit to come close to You? My Father in Heaven, Master of the World, who is full of mercy, I know for sure that despite this You listen to the voice of my cry for help from far away. Therefore, I will raise my voice and call to You, my Father, my Father, my Master, my Master, my King and my God, I will pray to You, call to You, cry to You for help. I will plead to You, prostrate myself, bow and kneel before You. I spread my hands out to You in prayer. Take pity and have mercy upon me.
Have compassion upon me. Care for me from Your holy dwelling, with love and very great compassion. Cure the pain of my very miserable soul. Remove all blemishes from me that I introduced to my soul from every limb, for it’s Your way to use broken utensils. You do great things and immeasurable, countless wonders; You revive the dead in great mercy. In Your great strength You raise up and gather the pieces of broken utensils, the broken pieces. In Your loving-kindness, You join and fix them and You renovate them as they had originally been, making them even stronger. Not even one spark is lost or distant from You,, Heaven forbid, for in Your Hand there is strength and might and it is in Your Hand to make everything greater or stronger. Charitable Healer, stir Your compassion upon me and cure me. Remove all blemishes and defects from me, from my body and soul, my spirit and higher spirit. Send a full cure to Your Nation(and in particular to… etc.). You are a trusted healer and merciful one, Healer of broken hearts and Binder of the wound of their sadness. Cure me Lord and I will be cured. Save me and I will be saved, for You are my song of praise and I will merit to be completely whole, without any defect or blemish. Grant me completeness within myself so that I will be able to subdue, break and negate my body, until all the desires of the body and bad characteristics will be nullified from me completely; until my body becomes negated to the soul, and the body will have no other craving or will at all, apart from the desire of the holy soul, which is as You desire. May there be tranquility between my soul and my body, until my body becomes holy and purified, becoming merged within my holy soul. May I merit to perform all the commandments and all the things that have in them Your desire, with great happiness and good will, physically and spiritually. Let both body and soul be truly united as one, with great love and peace, so I truly perform Your Will with great happiness always. Then really merit me to completely perfect holiness; May I be fitting to arrange my prayer before You in ultimate perfection. So my prayer is set before You as incense and perfect sacrifices, offered up before You by a flawless and complete person.
