An Awesome Prayer for a Bar Mitzvah Boy 1

Master of the Universe, Almighty, as I reach the age of Mitzvos, when a light surrounds me day and night, three days and three nights. Please, Master of the Universe, reveal to me the blazing and burning fire, which blazes for three days and three nights. And may I merit from now on to be the Holy of Holies with absolute guarding of my eyes (shmiras einayim), and may I never again look at any strange woman or strange girl until the end of my life. And may I merit every single year to complete the entire Shas (Talmud), Ketzos HaChoshen, Nesivos HaMishpat, Tokfo Kohen, and all the other holy books. And from the moment of my Bar Mitzvah, may I merit to see Hashem face to face, and may I merit to recite The Tikkun HaKlali every single day for all the days of my life, without stopping for a single moment. And may the verses be fulfilled in me: "Thus said the Lord Hashem: Behold, I will raise My hand to the nations, and lift up My ensign to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. And kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers; they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Hashem, for they who wait for Me shall not be ashamed." "Violence shall no more be heard in your land, desolation nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. The sun shall be no more your light by day, neither for brightness shall the moon give light to you; but Hashem shall be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory. Your sun shall no more go down, neither shall your moon withdraw itself; for Hashem shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended." "And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which Hashem has blessed. I will greatly rejoice in Hashem, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth her growth, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord Hashem will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations." "For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch. And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Hashem shall designate. You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Hashem, and a royal diadem in the open hand of your God. You shall no more be termed Forsaken, neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called Chephzibah (My delight is in her), and your land Beulah (Espoused); for Hashem delights in you, and your land shall be espoused. For as a young man espouses a virgin, so shall your sons espouse you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you." And may this day of my Bar Mitzvah be the day of my nuptials, when I say, "And I will betroth you to Me forever; and I will betroth you to Me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in compassion. And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness (emunah); and you shall know Hashem." And may I merit on the day of my Bar Mitzvah to the song of the Leviathan, and to be like Yonah the Prophet, who offered himself as a sacrifice to Hashem and to the tzaddikim, and through this entered the Garden of Eden with his physical body. And may I merit on the day of my Bar Mitzvah to enter the Garden of Eden with my physical body, and to a long life like Serach the daughter of Asher, Basya the daughter of Pharaoh, and Eliezer the servant of Avraham. And may the verses be fulfilled in me: "The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose." "Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the inhabitants of Sela exult, let them shout from the top of the mountains."
And may I merit to sing like the frogs, "Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever," which has the same gematria (numerical value) as "The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended." And to be like Chanoch and like the Simpleton (from Rebbe Nachman's tale), who with every single stitch they sewed would say, "Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever." And to attain all the secrets of the Leviathan, "for His lovingkindness endures forever," and to subdue "the piercing serpent, and the crooked serpent, and the dragon that is in the sea." And may I merit that from the day of my Bar Mitzvah, Ruach HaKodesh (Divine Inspiration) will rest upon me, as it is said: "In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore them, and carried them all the days of old... Who caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moshe, dividing the water before them, to make Himself an everlasting Name; Who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble. As cattle that go down into the valley, the spirit of Hashem caused them to rest; so did You lead Your people, to make Yourself a glorious Name. Look down from heaven, and see, from Your holy and glorious habitation; where is Your zeal and Your mighty acts, the yearning of Your heart and Your compassions, now restrained toward me? For You are our Father; for Avraham knows us not, and Yisrael does not acknowledge us; You, O Hashem, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is Your Name."
