A Prayer to Merit Being Saved from Anger

Master of the Universe, Almighty, grant me the merit to be saved from anger by ascending to the level of Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon (the highest primordial spiritual realm). May this be in the merit of the verse, "He suspends the earth upon nothingness (blimah)." For through bli-mah (restraining oneself), when a person remains silent in the face of his insult, he fulfills what the Sages said: "Those who are insulted but do not insult, who hear their disgrace but do not reply, who act out of love and are joyous in suffering—about them the verse says, 'And those who love Him are like the sun going forth in its might.'" For "Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her returnees with righteousness." And may I merit to fulfill what is written in Tractate Gittin (7a) regarding the verse, "Be silent before Hashem and wait patiently for Him" (dom la'Shem v'hitcholel lo)—that He will cast them down as corpses before you. For when a person forgives his insult, the heels of Leah connect with the crown of Rachel (unifying the Kabbalistic Divine configurations), and then the verses are fulfilled: "Upon Edom I will cast My shoe," "All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away," and "He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked." For one who forgives his insult at every moment and second is sacrificing his soul (mesiras nefesh) for the sanctification of Hashem's Name, and the entire world stands in his merit. May I not feel at all that they are insulting me or hurting me. And by overcoming anger and my insult, may I merit to subdue the klipos (impure spiritual shells) of Edom (which has the numerical value of 51) and Yishmael (457), which together equal 508, in the merit of Serach (508) the daughter of Asher, who entered the Garden of Eden alive in her physical body. For the verse states, "G-d is angry every day," and by overcoming anger, we sweeten the judgment of "G-d is angry every day." Because whoever Hashem loves, He sends him humiliations, as Rebbe Nachman said, "I have brought you a gift: controversy." And through this, "He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, nor has He seen perverseness in Israel." And through this realization that "Hashem is One" (Echad = 13), may I merit miracles and wonders just like in the days of Mattisyahu the son of Yochanan the Kohen Gadol, and may the verse be fulfilled in me: "Be silent before Hashem and wait patiently for Him," and "rise early to the Beis Midrash (study hall) and they will perish on their own."
