SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 7th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
COMING TO LOVE THE CREATOR
What should one do in order to come to
love the Creator? For that purpose we are
granted the remedy of engaging in Torah and
Mitzvot, for the Light in it reforms. There is
Light there, which lets one feel the severity
of the state of separation. And slowly, as one
intends to acquire the Light of Torah, hatred
for separation is created in him. He begins to
feel the reason that causes him and his souls
to be separated and far from the Creator.

Psalms Chapter 39 תְּהִלִּים
ב אָמַרְתִּי– אֶשְׁמְרָה דְרָכַי, מֵחֲטוֹא בִלְשׁוֹנִי:
אֶשְׁמְרָה לְפִי מַחְסוֹם– בְּעֹד רָשָׁע לְנֶגְדִּי.

I will keep a curb upon my mouth, while the wicked is before me.’
