A Prayer to Merit Ascending to the Sefirah of Netzach, to Completely Defeat the Evil Inclination Down to the Dust, and to be Powerfully Unified with Hashem
Prayer for the 4th Week of Shovavim (the winter weeks dedicated to repentance and spiritual rectification)
"And God did not lead them by way (224) of the land (291) of the Philistines (860) = 1375"
Master of the Universe, the Almighty, in the fourth week, which corresponds to Moshe Rabbeinu, peace be upon him, and the Sefirah of Netzach (Eternity/Victory)—may I merit to completely defeat the evil inclination. May I overthrow it, destroy it, and push it away for eternity, down to the dust, until it becomes nothing but dust and ashes. And fulfill in me the verse, "Your lovingkindness (92) and Your truth (467) will continually (454) preserve me (362) = 1375." And then, "We will sing (291) before Him (176) a song (510) new (312), Halleluyah (86) = 1375."
Because this week, the fourth week, is the Sefirah of Netzach, where we become completely and utterly unified with the Holy One, Blessed be He, just as a groom and bride are unified with one another. And therefore, "And I will betroth you (1231) to Me (40) in faithfulness (104) = 1375, and you shall know Hashem." This means that we marry Hashem through the power of emunah (faith), awe, and joy.
And through this, "Honor (310) and greatness (54) and glory (38) they will give (466) to the Almighty (61), the King (90), Creator (306) of all (50) = 1375." Through this, we will merit to give complete thanks to Hashem, blessed be He, thanking Him for every single step and for every single breath. And through this, we will merit to sing a new song in Jerusalem, the Holy City, as it is stated, "For behold, I (121) create (209) [the word] et (401) Jerusalem (596) as a rejoicing (48) = 1375," and a new song.
For the elevation of the soul of Matilda Ato bat Rivka, z"l (of blessed memory), may her soul be bound in the bundle of life.
