Master of the Universe — Giver of the Torah: have mercy upon us and grant us merit to engage in Your holy Torah for its own sake [lishmah] with great diligence; and may we merit to study much every single day. And help and save us in every place that we are — that there be no interruptions and no obstacles and no hindrances [bittulim] from Torah study at all. And may we merit to engage in Your holy Torah both during the day and at night; in the season and out of season; whether at home or on the road; whether in the city or in the field. And may we merit to complete and to fulfill all that we learn. And may our Torah study be sincere and wholehearted — in awe and fear and love; in faith and truth; in holiness and purity; in wholesomeness and simplicity; with great self-sacrifice; with all our heart and all our soul and all our might — as the Torah commands us. And help and save us that we not study Torah and engage in it for any ulterior motive whatsoever — whether for wealth or honor or fear or any other purpose whatsoever; rather may all our Torah study be purely for the sake of the Name — for the sake of Your great and holy Name; for the sake of Heaven; as Your good will desires in truth. And may we merit to the Torah of truth: the Torah of lovingkindness [Toras chesed] — which shall truly lead us and all who hear it in the path of truth. And may we merit through study of Your holy Torah to draw many people closer to Your service — until they merit to serve You with a whole heart all the days of their lives. And may You guard and save us through the merit and power of the holy Torah — and in particular through the merit of all those who engaged in Your holy Torah for its own sake in truth in every generation; and in the merit of those who are engaged in it now; and through their merit help and support and strengthen all of those who seek to draw close to Your holy Torah. Hashem — save; O King — answer us on the day we call [Psalms 20:10]. Amen and Amen.
