“Lord, open my lips and let my mouth speak Your praises.” Master of the universe, hear my prayer. You choose the prayers of the Jewish people. In You great compassion, merit me to always pray a great deal. May I pray with great concentration, strength and self-sacrifice. Help me to put all my strength into the words of prayer so that I can strengthen prayer, which is the kingdom of holiness, and thus subdue the kingdom of evil. By this, let me subdue, break and nullify all thoughts of self importance together with all the extraneous thoughts that come to confuse my prayer, Heaven forbid. You know that, by ourselves, we have no strength to nullify them. We depend on Your bountiful mercy and great loving-kindness. Have mercy upon me for Your Name’s sake. Just let me drive them out, get rid of them and nullify them completely from within me and around me. Don’t let these strange thoughts come into my mind at all and then, as a result, my prayers will be pure and proper; they will find favour before You. Merit me to refine my prayers and separate them from the hands of the husks and from the kingdom of evil until the prayers become completely rectified. Then, may they have the power to arouse You sublime love until we create a unification of the Holy One with the Shechina through our prayer.

	You revealed to us that the main way to attach ourselves and to cleave to You is through prayer, for prayer is the gateway through which we enter to the Holy One. From prayer we come to recognise Him. Have mercy on us for Your Name’s sake. Merit us to pray perfectly, with all our strength You taught us by Your holy sages, would that a person pray the entire day, so merit us to pray a great deal. Fulfill all our wishes through Your compassion. Let us pray with all our strength such that we nullify completely all extraneous thoughts. Merit us to perfect prayer until we come close to You and really recognise You. Then we will cleave to You with the utmost cleaving in a really perfect way, as You desire, for ever and ever, for all eternity. Fulfill in us the verse, “You who cleave to the Lord, Your God, You are all alive today.” May the words of my mouth and the musings of my heart fin favour before You, God, my Rock and Redeemer. Amen. Sela.

 The Luz bone in the nape of the neck of a person which will remain after the decay of the body and from which the body will be renewed and rebuilt at the time of the Resurrection, this is our main consolation. (See inside).

 When there is small-mindedness and blemished faith we need to perform difficult deeds such as to fast and so on. But when our faith is perfect, we can serve G-d in anything we do, for "G-d doesn't come with complaints against His creations."
