Prayer G — Yissurim, Mikveh, and Holy Speech

Source — Prayer on Rising in the Morning and Netilas Yadayim.

The troubles of my heart have widened; from my distresses, take me out. Distress and anguish have found me. It is very narrow for me. Master of the Universe, it is very narrow for me, until it is not within my power to open my mouth and explain my speech before You, for my heart has been sealed from the abundance of my troubles, troubles of soul and body. I cannot even lift my palms to You and look toward Your mercies, from the abundance of grief and yissurim that pass over me at every time.

I know that all this, that I feel my yissurim and that they confuse me, is only because the da’as in my mind has departed from me, until my mind is very confused. For if I knew and believed that everything is through hashgachah pratis from Hashem Yisbarach, I certainly would not feel yissurim at all; I would be in joy and would comfort myself in everything that passes over me.

But through my many sins I have fallen from the true da’as, and it appears to me, Heaven forbid, that everything is through my mazal; I hang everything upon teva, as though, Heaven forbid, Hashem Yisbarach does not watch over me at all and I no longer have any hope. Therefore have mercy upon me, that I merit complete emunah in You, Yisbarach, and to believe that everything is through hashgachah and everything is for my eternal good.

Ultimately, in the end, You will certainly have mercy upon me and make my latter end good; for You will not be angry forever, and You will not contend for eternity. Certainly all the yissurim and pain will be transformed into great and true good things, for everything that passes over me is all with chesed and rachamim, according to my evil deeds, and You devise thoughts to return me in complete teshuvah before You.

Open the light of the true da’as that is drawn from the end of the world, for then there will be only hashgachah, and all will know that there is no way of teva at all, but every matter is through hashgachah. Through this may I merit to nullify from myself all yissurim and pain, for my soul is already sated with evils, and I can no longer bear the bitterness of my many troubles of soul.

I have fallen from the true da’as, and I do not know how to take counsel for my soul, how to comfort myself, for it appears to me that my hope and expectation from Hashem have been lost. All this is because I blemished da’as and hung everything upon teva and mazal, and I did not place it upon my heart to believe in hashgachah and to know that all yissurim are for my good, in order to return me in complete teshuvah for all my evil deeds that I have done from my beginning.

So much so that not even one day has passed over me without enormous blemishes, as You know all my deeds and thoughts. Through this my da’as has been blemished; through this I feel yissurim in my heart very greatly, until my strength has failed very much because of the greatness of the feeling of yissurim. Therefore have mercy upon me, Master of mercies, draw upon me hashgachah from the end of the world, do with me according to the greatness of Your chassadim, and sweeten the yissurim and troubles of my soul.

Give me true da’as, that I merit to be awakened in truth each time through the yissurim, to begin to return in complete teshuvah for all my evil deeds, and to receive everything with love, for certainly everything is for my eternal good, in order to awaken me to begin regretting all the evil deeds that I have done and to cleanse my sins; and everything is through hashgachah. Through this may all yissurim be nullified from me, from all the members of my household, and from all Israel.

Master of the Universe, Master of the Universe, have mercy upon me, have mercy upon me, for there is no word on my tongue and I do not know what to speak. I have become mute in silence; I was still from good, and my pain and sorrow were stirred. Yet this is my consolation: that I know You are righteous, Hashem, and Your judgments are upright, and everything is for my eternal good, in order to purify me and refine my soul, perhaps I will now return to my heart the good purpose and no longer return to folly.

For behold, You will revive me; You will increase my greatness and turn to comfort me, in the merit of the true tzaddikim whose holy name is called upon us, even though I know, according to my deeds, that I am not worthy that their holy name be called upon me because of my evil deeds, and also through my evil deeds I blemished their honor, Heaven forbid.

But You know the point of my heart, that in the inwardness of the point of my heart, the good within me cries out to You with great bitterness because I fell to the place where I fell. To You I have lifted my eyes as long as my soul is within me, that You have mercy upon me, that I merit to believe in You, in Your holy Torah, and in Your true tzaddikim; and through my emunah may I merit to go out from teva entirely, to nullify the wisdom of teva from the world, to know in truth that everything is conducted by Your good hashgachah, and to nullify all dinim and all yissurim from me and from all Israel.

Master of the Universe, have mercy upon me and help me for the sake of Your great Name, for You are good and do good to all. May I merit to nullify from upon me the sitra achra and the kelipos that cling to my hands every night at the time of my sleep; may I merit to nullify them through washing and netilas yadayim three times as our Sages, of blessed memory, commanded us, and through this to draw the waters of da’as and hashgachah from the end of the world, from the aspect of Olam HaBa, when the earth will be filled with da’as.

All will know that there is no way of teva at all, but everything is conducted by hashgachah alone. Through this all kelipos, all dinim, and all yissurim that pass over us because of our sins and rebellions will be nullified; and all this comes through the force of the sitra achra and the umois de’alma, the nations of the world, among whom we are in exile.

Therefore have mercy upon us, that immediately when I awaken from my sleep I wash my hands with water, which are the waters of da’as and chesed, and draw upon myself hashgachah from the end of the world, until there will be an end and a termination to all the sitra achra, the kelipos, and the nations of the world that rule over us and distress us, until the strength to bear has failed.

Have mercy upon us and save us for the sake of Your Name, for You know how the baal davar and the sitra achra overpower us; through this we feel yissurim very greatly and the troubles of our heart, for our pains and troubles of soul have become many. All this is because we are among the nations in a great exile, and through this we hang everything upon the way of teva, Heaven forbid; through this they overpower us at every time more and more, and each time they make our lives very bitter. Have mercy, have mercy; save, save; and deliver us speedily for the sake of Your Name.

Grant us merit for netilas yadayim every morning, until we merit to lift our hands to our heart, to God in Heaven, and I fulfill the verse that is written: “Lift up your hands in holiness and bless Hashem.” May I merit to raise my hands and purify them, and to elevate all the twenty-eight joints of my hands to the head, which is da’as, to know that everything is through Your hashgachah alone and there is no way of teva.

May we subdue and uproot the kelipah of Amalek, may its name be blotted out, from the world, for this is the essence of subduing the sitra achra, which is the nations of the world; all of it is the aspect of the kelipah of Amalek, may its name be blotted out, which draws heresies into the world, Heaven forbid. Through netilas yadayim may we merit to subdue all heresies, and to elevate all the twenty-eight joints of the hands to Hashem Yisbarach.

May we believe and know that You created Your world with the twenty-eight letters in the Work of Creation, and You give life to and sustain the heavens and all their host, the earth and all that is upon it, through Your hashgachah alone, and there is no way of teva at all. Through this all yissurim, dinim, the sitra achra, and all the nations of the world that oppress and distress us, Your holy people Israel, will be nullified.

May what is written be fulfilled: “It is a time of distress for Yaakov, and from it he will be saved.” “Save with Your right hand and answer me.” Through netilas yadayim may we merit complete emunah that everything is for our good, and certainly Your love and Your chesed will not depart from us; You will send us salvation and purity, to be rescued from the force of the sitra achra, whose nourishment is from the aspect of the wisdom of teva.

And You, in Your abundant mercies, draw upon us hashgachah from the end of the world, and make an end and a termination to all the nations of the world, and especially to the wicked nation that distresses us greatly, for we no longer have strength to bear the troubles and the yoke of exile, which weigh heavily upon us in body, soul, and money, until they have drawn out and spilled our blood and have overpowered us greatly. You Yourself, make of them an end and a termination; finish them, lower them, and subdue them speedily in our days.

Nullify foolishness of da’as from upon us and from upon Your people Israel, that every one of Israel merit to know: for You alone are God, etc.; You made the heavens, etc.; who can say to You, what shall You do and what shall You perform? And every made thing will know that You made it.

Therefore help me, in Your abundant mercies, that I merit to purify myself each day through immersion in a mikveh. Give me strength that I be able to go every single day before prayer to purify myself in a mikveh. Through entering the mikveh, may I merit to close my eyes entirely from the appearance of this world, and to be hidden and covered within the waters of the mikveh in holiness and purity, to be included in the holiness of Olam HaBa, and to draw the waters of da’as and hashgachah upon me, upon all my offspring, and upon all the Children of Israel, Your people.

Through this may I merit to be saved from all kinds of pain and yissurim, and to be purified from all kinds of tumos. Master of the Universe, have mercy upon me and save me, how to pray to You about all this, for You are the Mikveh of Israel, its Savior in a time of distress. Help me that we merit to attach ourselves to You, and You purify me from all tumos; from all troubles save me, and graciously give me da’as, binah, and seichel, to know that everything is through Your complete hashgachah, and there is no way of teva.

For You know hidden things, and You know how and in what place our mochin have become hidden, and we have no true da’as. Through this the troubles and yissurim have overpowered us, as You know the troubles of my soul; and all this is because I fell and blemished the true da’as, and it seems to me, Heaven forbid, that there is a way of teva.

Therefore have mercy upon me and give me true da’as and holy seichel, that I merit to close my eyes from the appearance of this world, especially through immersion in a mikveh every day, and to bind myself to You, to Your holy Torah, and to Your true tzaddikim in truth, until all the dinim and troubles that pass over me through my many sins and rebellions, which have stopped up my da’as and seichel, will be nullified. Through this I feel yissurim and troubles of soul very strongly, and I no longer have strength to bear them.

Have mercy upon me with a free gift, and draw upon me hashgachah from Olam HaBa; nullify all the dinim, troubles, and yissurim, for my soul is sated with evils and my life has reached Sheol. There is no repair except to cry out to You and attach myself to You, to Your holy Torah, and to the true tzaddikim, who informed us of all this: that by nullifying oneself to You and through immersion in a mikveh, one draws da’as and merits to nullify all dinim and troubles.

Until one merits that You perform with us miracles and wonders not in the way of teva, but only through complete hashgachah; that You make an end and a termination to all the akum who distress us and all Israel; that You uproot them, break them, and nullify them from the world; and that the world be conducted only through Your hashgachah, as it will be in the future, if Hashem wills.

Grant us merit that we merit to pray each day in the holiness of Eretz Yisrael, and through our prayer to draw Your good hashgachah, that You perform great wonders with us through prayer. Hear our prayer and listen to our cry; may we merit to weep every single day with a truly broken heart before You, and through the tears may we merit to draw complete hashgachah. Place my tears in Your flask.

Through weeping every day may we merit to nullify all troubles from upon us and to nullify our pain, as You know the pains of my soul and the troubles of my heart, which have overpowered me greatly through my many sins, until I have no strength even to open my mouth and explain my speech and pain before You, and to pour out my heart like water before the throne of Your glory.

Master of the Universe, Master of the Universe, You know me from my beginning until my final end. Have mercy upon me, for I have no trust, support, or backing, and I have no one to help me and bring my soul out from distress. Only upon Your abundant chassadim do I trust; and as until now Your mercies have helped me, for You have saved me from every trouble from the day I was upon the earth until this day. If my mouth were full of song like the sea, etc., I would not be sufficient to tell and thank You for the chassadim and salvations that You have done with me and with my offspring.

Now, now, have mercy upon me and awaken Your abundant mercies, Your mercies hidden with You in Your good treasuries, and save my soul. Let my blood not fall to the earth before You, and do not hide Your eye from me; rather, watch over me with an open eye, with the one eye of mercy. May I merit to awaken from my sleep and wash my hands immediately, and at once nullify all the sitra achra that clings to my hands at the time of sleep.

May I be very careful not to touch with my hands, before washing, the seven openings in my head, namely the two eyes, two ears, the two nostrils, and the mouth, so as not to blemish the holy da’as of the aspect of hashgachah through the filth of the wisdom of teva that clings to the hands at the time of sleep, through which one feels the pain of yissurim and hangs everything upon the way of teva. Through the washing, may I purify my holy hands and draw upon myself complete hashgachah from the end of the world.

May I merit that You make an end and a termination to all our troubles, and that You kill and uproot all those who distress and oppress the Shechinah of Your glory and all Your people, the House of Israel, and fulfill the verse that is written: “If I sharpen My flashing sword,” etc.; “and to My enemies I shall repay.”

Master of the Universe, grant me merit to rise every night at actual chatzos, and may it not harm my eyes and my head that I rise at chatzos and drive sleep away from my eyes. Rather, give me strength and power, that I merit to awaken and rise with zerizus and wash my hands in holiness, and that I merit to say Tikkun Chatzos in holiness and with true awakening of the heart, and to mourn over the Beis HaMikdash, over the exile of the Shechinah, over the exile of Israel, and over the exile of my nefesh, ruach, and neshamah, until I merit to weep before You with a flow of tears over having become distant from before You.

May I fulfill: “Weeping, she weeps at night,” etc. And You will hear my prayer, listen to my cry, and save me; You will nullify all kinds of dinim from upon me, from upon my offspring, and from upon all Israel; You will draw complete hashgachah upon us and draw da’as of kedushah upon us, until we merit to go out from teva entirely, and You will perform miracles and wonders with us for good.

May I merit to learn immediately after chatzos, and to attach myself to You, to Your holy Torah, and to Your true tzaddikim; and may You overturn the constellations and nullify teva entirely. May I merit to accept upon myself the holiness of Eretz Yisrael that is drawn from Your holy eyes, as it is written: “The eyes of Hashem your God are upon it,” etc., so that the whole world will be conducted by hashgachah as in Eretz Yisrael. Through this may You nullify and uproot the four malchiyos of kelipah, and Your malchus be revealed over all who enter the world, to repair the world through the kingship of Shaddai, and all flesh will call in Your Name in truth and with a whole heart.

Take us out from this bitter exile, in which we are among the nations, despised and lowly, and through this we feel the pain in our heart very greatly when, Heaven forbid, yissurim come upon us through Your good judgments. And You, in Your abundant mercies, lighten yissurim from upon us and take us out to a broad place, until we merit to believe with complete emunah that everything is through Your hashgachah for good, until all yissurim are entirely nullified. We will thank You with a new song, a song of wonders, that You conduct Your world with hashgachah and wonders; and may we go out from teva entirely and accept upon ourselves the holiness of Eretz Yisrael always.

We will thank You for our redemption and for the ransom of our soul, and fulfill: “Sing to Hashem a new song, for He has done wonders.” “I thank You, for I am awesomely, wondrously made; wondrous are Your works, and my soul knows very well.” Amen.

Master of the Universe, grant me a holy memory, that I merit to remember the words of Your Torah always and that they not be forgotten from me. May the verse that is written be fulfilled in me: “They shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring, said Hashem, from now and forever.” May I merit to remember the day of our departure from Mitzrayim, to remember Yetzias Mitzrayim always, every day, and to believe in truth in all the miracles and wonders that You did with us at the time of Yetzias Mitzrayim, and to fulfill the verse that is written: “In order that you remember the day of your departure from the land of Mitzrayim all the days of your life.”

Help me that I be careful of even the smallest amount of chametz all the days of Pesach; through this may I merit to be rescued from mochin de-katnus, from which all dinim and all troubles are drawn, Heaven forbid. May I merit to nullify teva entirely and to draw complete hashgachah, which is drawn from mochin de-gadlus of kedushah. May I merit the eating of matzah during the days of the festival of Pesach; through eating matzah may I merit da’as, the aspect of hashgachah, so that I believe in truth that there is no way of teva at all, but everything is done through Your hashgachah.

May I nullify all questions and heresies that fall upon a person concerning the conduct of Hashem Yisbarach; rather, may I believe that everything is for good. May I merit all this through eating matzah in holiness; and through eating matzah may I merit the revelation of Godliness, to see and know that everything is through Your hashgachah, Yisbarach.

Master of the Universe, grant me zerizus of kedushah, that I not be lazy, Heaven forbid, in any matter of mitzvah, but that I do all the words of Your Torah and Your mitzvos with zerizus. May I not look at all toward preparing livelihood for myself and making for myself some station of livelihood; rather, may I merit to believe that You will sustain me, and the God Who has shepherded me from my beginning will not abandon me. Through zerizus may I merit to enliven my mind and my soul, and to minimize sleep, which comes through laziness; rather, may I always be quick in Your service, and whatever Torah or mitzvah I can snatch, may I merit to do it immediately, without any delay or laziness at all.

May I know that there is no time at all, for the essence of the hashgachah of Hashem Yisbarach comes through knowing that Hashem Yisbarach is above time and place, and that He watches over the whole world with His hashgachah, Yisbarach, and there is no way of teva at all. Through this may I merit the maintenance of da’as and mind; through emunah, that I believe in all this, may I merit that You perform with us miracles and wonders not in the way of teva at all, and draw Your complete hashgachah from the aspect of Olam HaBa.

May I merit to receive Shabbosos with abundant joy, with wealth and honor, and with few sins, for everything is drawn through the holiness of Shabbos, when we believe in Hashem Yisbarach, Who created all the worlds from nothing into being, and everything is through His hashgachah without any way of teva at all. May I know that even teva is through hashgachah, and may I believe in all the miracles that You did for us and for our fathers from Mitzrayim until now, and all the miracles that You did for our fathers Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, to believe in all of them in truth, and to remember the day of our departure from Mitzrayim every single day, in order to reveal and illuminate in our mind that everything is through Your hashgachah.

May I merit to receive upon myself the holiness of Shabbos HaGadol before the festival of Pesach; through this may You make an end and a termination to all our troubles, and finish and subdue all the akum who oppress and distress us; make of them an end and a termination, and may they fall and not rise. Therefore may it be Your will, Hashem our God, that You perform miracles and wonders with us, and fulfill: “As in the days of your departure from the land of Mitzrayim, I will show him wonders.”

Guard us from all harmful forces of the world, that they should have no power to harm us, whether in body or in soul. Rescue us from all kinds of darkness, and shine upon us from Your holy light, from which all lights are drawn, physically and spiritually. May I merit to draw upon us the holiness of the night of Pesach for the whole year, through which we will be guarded from all kinds of darkness and harmful forces of the world, and from all kinds of yissurim and dinim that have overpowered us through our sins and iniquities. Rather, shine upon us with the light of life, and may what is written be fulfilled in us: “For You light my lamp; Hashem my God illuminates my darkness,” and “the darkness of night shines like the light of day.”

Watch over us with Your hashgachah, and nullify all harms and all dinim from upon us and from upon all Your people Israel forever. Grant me merit every single year that we merit to remove the chametz from our domain and from our boundary every erev Pesach through burning the chametz; through this may we merit that You nullify all the akum and the wicked from the world, and fulfill: “For they came out from fire, and fire shall consume them.”

Subdue and nullify the luminaries of fire, and reveal and magnify the holiness of the luminaries of light, who are the true tzaddikim, for they reveal the hashgachah of Hashem Yisbarach in the world and nullify and subdue all the dinim that are drawn from the luminaries of fire, which are drawn from teva. For You have already informed me through the true tzaddikim that the main force of teva is drawn from fire, for fire is the force of dinim; and when a person is sick, Heaven forbid, everything appears in the way of teva, and he says, Heaven forbid, “my power and the might of my hand.” This is drawn from the force of fire, whose main creation was on Motzaei Shabbos Kodesh through Adam HaRishon, as our Sages, of blessed memory, said; therefore the main force of teva is from there.

But in truth, even teva itself is through Your good hashgachah, and the main point is that we merit to include teva within Your hashgachah. Through this the fire will be included in kedushah, and we will merit to perform all the mitzvos with the warmth of the fire of holiness, which consumes and burns all kinds of fire of kelipah; through this all the akum and the wicked will be nullified and fall.

May we merit to make Havdalah every Motzaei Shabbos Kodesh and bless over the fire; through this may we merit to clarify the good from the fire, and the fire will be included in kedushah. Through this all the dinim, the sitra achra, and all the akum will be nullified, and it will be fulfilled in them: “For they came out from fire, and fire shall consume them”; and it will be fulfilled: “The house of Yaakov shall be fire, the house of Yosef a flame, and the house of Esav straw,” for through fire of kedushah they will be nullified and burned. May we merit all this through burning chametz every erev Pesach; through this may we merit eating matzah in holiness, to reveal hashgachah, as we say: “This matzah that we eat, because the dough of our fathers did not have time to become chametz before the King, the King of kings, the Holy One, blessed is He, revealed Himself to them and redeemed them.”

Master of the Universe, You know that it is impossible for flesh and blood truly to be careful from even the smallest amount of chametz during the days of Pesach; only in Your abundant chassadim will You guard us physically, that I merit to be careful and guarded from even the smallest amount of chametz all the days of Pesach. May I know and believe that through our being careful from eating chametz, we merit through this to nullify teva entirely, to nullify from upon us all dinim and yissurim, and to merit eating matzah in holiness and purity.

Through this may we merit true da’as and draw complete hashgachah upon us and upon all Israel, until through eating matzah during the seven days of Pesach, the holiness of Yetzias Mitzrayim will be drawn upon us every year, until hashgachah is revealed, until we know that even teva is through Your good hashgachah, and there is no way of teva at all without hashgachah.

Through this the wisdom of teva will be subdued and nullified, for from there is the hold of the sitra achra and the akum; and all enemies and haters will be ashamed and terrified. May we merit to believe in Your holy miracles at Yetzias Mitzrayim and at the splitting of the Sea of Reeds, for everything came through the revelation of Your unity and oneness in the world, that everything is conducted by hashgachah without any way of teva at all.

Until after Pesach we will be able to eat even chametz, for it will be revealed that teva, which is the aspect of chametz, is all through Your hashgachah alone. For this is the essence of da’as: through da’as one nullifies all yissurim and dinim, and subdues all the wicked and the akum who rule over us. Lower the two tears into the Great Sea, make an end and a termination to all the akum, perform miracles with us for good, and we will thank You with a new song for our redemption and for the ransom of our soul, a song of hashgachah, a song of wonders and miracles. “This was from Hashem; it is wondrous in our eyes.”

May we merit to drink the four cups on the night of Pesach in holiness and purity, and may our da’as be raised in kedushah, until we merit to go out from doubled da’as and from poverty of da’as. Through our drinking in holiness, may we merit to tell and speak of Yetzias Mitzrayim all the days of our life, and to fulfill: “In order that you remember,” etc., “all the days of your life,” and to thank and praise Your great Name for Your miracles and wonders that You have done with us and that You are destined to do with us.

Through drinking the four cups may we merit to nullify sleep and the absence of da’as from us, and to nullify poverty and constriction, physically and spiritually, from upon us and from upon all Your people, the House of Israel. May we merit the wine that gladdens God and men, and to speak holy words, songs, and praises drawn from da’as of kedushah, and to reveal Your hashgachah upon us and nullify the darkness. May we merit light, and may night shine like day; may You fill the blemish of the moon, and may the light of the moon be like the light of the sun. Through this may all poverty and lack be nullified from us, and our da’as rise very greatly, until we merit to speak holy words.

May what is written be fulfilled in us: “And your palate is like the good wine, going to my beloved in uprightness, causing the lips of sleepers to speak”; that I open my mouth in holiness to sing, thank, and praise You at every time, Selah. May hashgachah be revealed more and more at every time; may all the four malchiyos of the sitra achra be nullified through drinking the four cups on the night of Pesach; may all the akum be subdued before Your holy people; and may the exile of the four malchiyos be nullified through the holiness of the four cups.

Master of the Universe, grant me merit to believe in You, that You will sustain me always; and may we merit eating the manna in holiness, so that we know that not by strength does a man prevail, and there is no power in any person to draw livelihood except through Your great goodness, for You watch, feed, and sustain at every time and every hour, from the horns of re’emim to the eggs of lice. You lowered the manna for us and fed us the manna for forty years, and You supplied our needs in the wilderness for forty years; so too, You feed and sustain us even now only through Your chesed and Your hashgachah upon us always and upon the whole world. You conduct Your world with chesed and rachamim, and You give bread to all flesh.

Have mercy upon us that we merit to believe this with emunah and with a whole heart, and not worry about what we will eat tomorrow; may we know that certainly You will have mercy upon me with a free gift and a donation of chesed, and You will neither abandon us nor forsake us. May all my eating throughout the year be in the holiness of eating matzah, so that we draw upon ourselves complete hashgachah and the holiness of the manna; through this may we merit to receive the Torah anew every day through our eating in holiness, in the aspect of eating the manna.

Master of the Universe, You know how far I am from eating in holiness in the simple sense, from not eating for the sake of the craving for food, and all the more so from eating of kedushah in the aspect of the manna. Shame covers my face from asking You for such great things, according to what I know of the physicality of my body in all cravings, and especially in the craving for food. I have never yet merited to eat in holiness and fear of Heaven. Even so, I ask from You a free gift, that You graciously favor me and grant me merit through Your chesed alone, that I merit eating of kedushah.

May no thing forbidden for eating come to my mouth, Heaven forbid. Even regarding all the vessels, may I merit that everything be in holiness, and may I not use, Heaven forbid, a forbidden vessel or a vessel of akum until I have kashered them according to Torah law, everything in holiness. A vessel that comes into fire I will pass through fire by libun and hagalah, each vessel according to its law; and vessels that according to law must be immersed in mikveh water, may I merit to immerse them. Through this I will draw da’as and hashgachah upon myself, and I will take all vessels that I use out from the aspect of teva and prohibition, which are the sitra de-mesa’avusa, and bring them out to holiness, to complete hashgachah.

Through this may I merit that all my eating be in holiness, in the aspect of the manna, and that all the hold of the sitra achra and the dinim be nullified from me. May I merit complete emunah and to nullify all the heresies that are drawn from the akum and the wicked, who hang everything upon the way of teva.

May I merit that You have mercy upon me even at a time when, according to Your judgments, yissurim are coming to me, Heaven forbid; lighten the yissurim from me through my meriting to weep before You in truth and with a whole heart, to break my heart and regret all the evil deeds that caused me yissurim; and may I accept the yissurim with love, and fulfill what our Sages, of blessed memory, said: “Those who are insulted but do not insult,” etc., “they rejoice in yissurim.”

And You will have mercy upon me and heal me, and remove from me all yissurim, physically and spiritually; heal me with a complete healing without any involvement in physical remedies. Rather, may I believe that there is no way of teva at all, and no power in any remedy to heal, except through Your good hashgachah, for You are the true Healer, the free Healer, and remedies are in Your hand alone. May I know and believe that You are occupied with my healings, and certainly You will heal me, for Your chesed will not cease forever, and all yissurim are for my eternal good, physically and spiritually.

May I merit to say songs and praises before You, and may my mouth be filled with Your praise. May I nullify from myself all questions and heresies that arise, Heaven forbid, upon the heart, to think doubts after Your holy attributes. May I merit to speak and tell of Yetzias Mitzrayim all the days, and to fulfill what is written: “In order that you remember,” etc., “all the days of your life.”

Through this all the four malchiyos, all the akum, and the kelipos will be nullified from the world, and even now, in the exile of the world, it will be conducted by Your hashgachah alone; and You will nullify teva entirely, just as You nullified and overturned the constellations of the way of teva at the time of Yetzias Mitzrayim. So too now, nullify and break all the akum and the kelipos, remove and nullify all dinim from upon us and from upon all Your people Israel, and all will know that You alone are Hashem, supreme over all the earth.

Fill us with mercies, for You are the Master of mercies. Remember Your people Israel, who dwell among the akum, and drop two tears into the Great Sea; may Your holy voice be heard from one end of the world to the other, and make an end and a termination to all the akum. May Your Name be magnified through Your holy people Israel; may they all receive the yoke of Your malchus upon themselves with love; and may You reign over them forever and ever. Amen, amen, Selah and forever.

Translator’s Addition — Summary of Prayer G: The prayer presents yissurim as flowing from the departure of da’as, which leads a person to attribute his condition to teva and mazal instead of hashgachah pratis. Morning netilas yadayim, the mikveh, chatzos, Eretz Yisrael, Pesach, matzah, burning chametz, the four cups, the manna, and kashering vessels are all described as paths of repair that draw da’as and hashgachah, nullify the hold of the sitra achra and the wisdom of teva, and lead toward a new song and redemption.
