READING: DAWN TUESDAY
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 4th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
PRAYER TO THE CREATOR
Since half a thing is not given from Above,
one must pray to the Creator to give him
complete help. This means that during one’s
prayer—when he arranges what is in his heart,
since a prayer is work in the heart—one must
decide for himself that he wishes for the Creator
to give him a desire to annul before Him
altogether, leaving no desire under his own
authority, but that all the desires will be only
to glorify the Creator. And when he decides
on complete annulment, he asks of the Creator
to help him carry it out … This is called
“a complete prayer,” since his desire is for the
Creator to give him a complete desire, without
any compromises for himself, and he asks
of the Creator to help him always be with His
righteousness.
-Rabash, Letter no. 65, published by Bnei Baruch.
