# Prayer for Torah 31

> מקור: https://rabenu.app/books/kitvey-en/31/prayer-31/

Help me and merit me at all times to holy desire and to always long and yearn for You; let me yearn to serve You with fear and love. "My soul thirsts for G-d, for the living G-d; when shall I appear before G-d." But You know how far away we are from You and from everything in holiness, so we have no support other than to long, yearn and desire You while waiting for our salvation. In Your compassion You revealed to us through the true tzaddikim that desire and yearning themselves are of great value. Therefore I have come before You to ask that You merit me and accustom me to go all day with holy longing and yearning for You, with all my heart. Save me and guard me; rescue my soul from all sorts of bad longings and evil desires, all kinds of cravings for the vanities of the world. From now on, don't let any of these cravings and thoughts enter my heart.

 In Your bountiful mercy, help me to speak out my good desires with all my heart and soul. Give me the words to express myself before You so that I can pour out my soul honestly and purely. Let me speak with great intense longing for You so that I can make many holy souls by my yearning. By this, grant me the ability to make vowel points to the letters of the holy Torah such that they become vessels to receive and shape the bounty to the good. Merit us to the elixir of life! Please guard me against any bad soul being re-incarnated in me so that I won't come to sin or have evil thoughts, Heaven forbid. Rather, may many holy souls be created from my holy longing so that they arouse even the sinners to repent and bring the world back to the path of good.
