# Prayer for Torah 35

> מקור: https://rabenu.app/books/kitvey-en/35/prayer-35/

Please help me to sanctify my mind at all times, to guard it from extraneous thoughts and evil reflections. Let me keep far away from any alien ideologies and worthless wisdoms. I know that however much I let them enter my mind, its holiness becomes diminished and around this all the bad traits and cravings build themselves. I can't describe how much I have blemished until now, so, in Your great mercy, guard me and sanctify me such that I can drive away all these evil thoughts that I became used to.

 Drive out all the confusions from my mind such that I merit by a little sleep to give sufficient rest to my brain. Let my mind and soul be renewed and revitalized after its tiredness. Let me sleep with great holiness and purity. Have mercy on me and command Your angels to let my soul enter the realm of faith when I sleep. Then renew my soul and mind within belief. Fulfill in us the verse which says, "They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." May I always merit to receive a new soul from the Light of the Countenance through holy and pure sleep. To achieve this, help me to recite Shma before sleep with great and awesome holiness and self-sacrifice.

 In Your bountiful mercy, help us so that we merit to conduct our business affairs with true faith. Save us from all kinds of dishonesty. Help us so that all our intentions when doing business will be to make money in order to give charity to honest Jews especially those who learn Torah. In every single word we say and every single step we take during business, and every movement, let us have in mind that we want to do Your will and give charity from our profits to really deserving poor people. For this reason, grant us a good income.

 Have mercy upon me and all Israel and let us merit to conduct our business with great faith. Let us never break our word or change it even for the sake of a big profit. Like Rav Saffra, let us fulfill the verse which says, "He speaks the truth in his heart". May we keep to the price we decided on in our hearts whether in selling or buying something. During the trading let our thoughts always be connected to Torah, especially the Torah laws regarding business. As a result, in Your bountiful mercy, grant us the protection of the light of Binah, of Chashmal so that no outside, evil forces will be able to damage my faith. Let us receive a new intellect and a new soul from the Light of the Face. Enable all Jews to be connected together so that even the business affairs of a simple non-learned Jew conducted with faith will do a favour to the true Torah scholars by enabling their minds to be revitalized from the Light of the Countenance.
