A Prayer to Merit Being Saved from Bad Thoughts
to Burn Them as a Tongue of Fire Devours Straw, and to be Surrounded by the Stones [of the Hoshen]

Master of the Universe, the Almighty, save me from all bad thoughts. In the merit of this, may I be surrounded always by the stones of the Hoshen (the High Priest's breastplate) and their lights, which are "Odem, Pitdah, Bareket, Nofech, Sapir, Yahalom, Leshem, Shevo, Achlamah, Tarshish, Shoham, and Yashfeh." May I merit every moment and second to do the will of our Father in Heaven. May I merit this in the merit of Yael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, who never had a single bad thought in her entire life. In the merit of this, all four Matriarchs and the soul of King David, peace be upon him, were spiritually impregnated (ibur) within her. As it is said, "Blessed shall she be above women in the tent" (Judges 5:24). The numerical value of "MiNashim (from women - 440) BaOhel (in the tent - 38) Tevorach (shall she be blessed - 622)" equals 1100. This is equal to David (14), Sarah (505), Rivkah (307), Rachel (238), and Leah (36) = 1100. May I never again have any bad thought forever. May I repel all bad thoughts, and burn them as a tongue of fire devours straw. May I merit to be a flaming fire for You day and night, a torch of fire like Devorah the Prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, and like Miriam the Prophetess, who were torches of fire. She watered the entire Jewish nation from her well, and in the merit of this, the entire Jewish nation merited to stand on their feet and hear the Ten Commandments. May I be surrounded by flaming fire like Devorah the wife of Barak, who, every time she prophesied, was surrounded by a wall of fire.
