Prayer: Master of the Universe, Almighty, from Whom no purpose can be withheld, merit me and my wife [me and...

1 ? Master of the Universe, Almighty, You know the pure and pristine soul of David ben Chaya Rachel, which was hewn from the Throne of Glory, from Your very essence. His sensitive and wounded soul has been tossed about in terrible and dreadful upheavals, from house to house, from city to city, until his wounded and torn soul was ripped into thousands and tens of thousands of shreds, like one who plows and cleaves the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave. For many days now, since his Bar Mitzvah, he walks about torn and shattered, like a man swept away by a spirit, like a sweeping wind from a storm and tempest, like a shipwreck in the heart of the seas. His torn and shattered soul cries out and screams to return to its root, to the source from which it was hewn, to the root of its roots from before the creation, to return to the primordial years of ancient times. Due to the immense sensitivity of his soul, spirit, and breath of life, he has been deeply harmed to the very depths of his soul. And now we have come to You, Master of Mercy. Please, Hashem, act for the sake of Your Name. Do not let my sins and the sins of my sins cause, Heaven forbid, my precious son David ben Chaya Rachel to distance himself from the path of the Torah and pure Emunah (faith). Rather, on the contrary, let this situation be transformed into a springboard and a mighty lever that will strengthen David ben Chaya Rachel on the path of pure Emunah, to believe in the holy Torah, in the true tzaddikim, and in wholesome and upright people. May David ben Chaya Rachel merit all the levels of holiness. May the lights of the Torah be revealed to him, the most radiant and pure lights, the lights of the primordial Garden of Eden, as it is said regarding the nut garden in the primordial Garden of Eden. May he merit to recognize the wonders of Your greatness and the wonders of the greatness of the true tzaddikim, whose light and greatness are hidden from us in the ultimate concealment and hiding. For the hidden and concealed lights of our Creator and Redeemer, Hashem, blessed be He, stand ready at every moment and second to redeem us and save us from all evil, as it is said in Patach Eliyahu: "There is none who knows You at all, for You are the most hidden of all hidden things, the Will of all wills, the concealment of everything." Through this, shower upon him Your infinite light, and open his mind, his intellect, and his heart to recognize Your infinite greatness. In Your abundant and infinite mercy, bring it about that he is accepted into Kiryat Noar with great compassion. May Your simple mercy awaken Your abundant mercy, which has no end or limit. Redeem me and David ben Chaya Rachel from all kinds of suffering in the world, whether spiritual or physical. Shine upon him the most radiant and pure lights, and may he merit to gaze upon the pleasantness of Hashem and to visit His Sanctuary.
1 ? Master of the Universe, Almighty, from Whom no purpose can be withheld, grant me—a reproach of man and despised by the people, a worm and not a man, a boor who does not know—to merit the revelation of the King Mashiach this year. May I merit to see the revelation of David the son of Yishai, Your servant, Your anointed one, to Your holy nation in awe of You. Merit me to believe with complete Emunah that in this very year the righteous redeemer will come and redeem us. In this merit, may I be blessed with holy, righteous, and genius children who are attached to our holy and awesome Rebbe Nachman with all their Nefesh, Ruach, Neshamah, Chayah, and Yechidah (the levels of the soul). May we merit to see the building of our Holy Temple this year in the blink of an eye. Amen, Netzach, Selah, Va'ed. *Reproach (688) of man (45) and despised (31) by the people (110) = 874. *David (14) the son of (52) Yishai (320) Your anointed (378) to the people (110) = 874. *For (30) in this (15) year (350) will come (19) a righteous (194) redeemer (40) and redeem us (106) geniuses (110) = 874.
Master of the Universe, Almighty, from Whom no purpose can be withheld, grant me the merit that my son will study under the best teachers in the world. May he merit to learn from the greatest God-fearing individuals in the world, who will instill in him true fear of Heaven until he merits to see Hashem face to face at every single moment and second. May they instill in him pure and pristine Emunah, so that he merits to see and feel Hashem at every moment and second, knowing that every single action and every single thought of his comes directly from Hashem, blessed be He. May he merit such wondrous, holy, and pure teachers, possessing the ultimate holiness and purity, who tremble before Hashem, blessed be He, at every moment, and who feel the Kingship of Hashem upon themselves at every second. Through this, may they merit the ultimate holiness of the Covenant, so that my holy and pure son, named Nachman ben Yocheved Adel, will merit to be the holiest in the world and the purest of all generations. May he merit to reach the holiness and purity of our holy Rebbe Nachman, a purity the likes of which has not existed since the world was created. Thus, may my holy and pure son, who was born out of awesome prayers, merit the greatest holiness in the world. For this purpose, provide him with the holiest and purest teachers, those who tremble the most from the holiness of Hashem, and the greatest Torah scholars in the world, who will do their work faithfully. May they instill in him all holiness and purity, in the ultimate degree of holiness and purity, infinitely and unfathomably. May my holy and pure son merit to reach the level of our holy Rebbe Nachman, who remembered the "Ayin" (Divine Nothingness). May he merit to reach the reality of the "Ayin" completely, becoming entirely "Ayin" (nullified), until, in this merit, he feels the reality of Hashem at every moment and second, and merits to see the Holy One, blessed be He, face to face at every moment. Please, Merciful and Gracious One, You are Almighty and no purpose can be withheld from You. No gate is closed before You, and You hear the prayer of every mouth, even the prayer of a poor and destitute one like me, flawed with the ultimate flaws and distanced to the furthest extremes. Please, Merciful and Gracious One, behold my pain and behold the greatness of my suffering, and the war waged against me from the front and the back, from every side. My only desire is to do Your will, and my only request is that all my deeds bring You Nachas Ruach (Divine pleasure). Therefore, please hear my cry, that this, my only son, who came to me through so many tears and weeping, shall be guarded with the ultimate protection, holy with the ultimate holiness, and pure with the ultimate purity. For this purpose, prepare for him even now the holiest and purest teachers, outstanding scholars in Torah and fear of Heaven. May they possess the ultimate lowliness and humility, so they can instill in my holy and pure son all the humility and lowliness of all the tzaddikim in the world, until my holy and pure son merits to reach the humility of Moshe Rabbeinu, about whom it is said, "And the man Moshe was exceedingly humble, more than any person on the face of the earth." Provide him with true teachers of humility and lowliness who can instill humility and lowliness into his every limb, so that he merits to feel the lowliness and humility of Moshe Rabbeinu in every single limb. And may I, too, be worthy of raising such a holy and pure son. May I also merit the ultimate holiness and purity, beyond which there is no greater perfection, so that I can instill this holiness and purity into my holy and pure son as well. May I also merit to be an outstanding Torah scholar, all for the sake of Your holy and pure Name. May all my deeds and thoughts be solely for Your Name's sake, and may I raise my son in pure fear of Heaven, solely for Your Name's sake. May my holy and pure son be surrounded by the fear of Heaven on every side—whether at home, in the Cheder, or in the street. May he merit to walk in the streets with absolute guarding of the eyes, so that he sees nothing inappropriate in the streets. May he merit the guarding of the eyes of our holy Rebbe Nachman, who never looked at any worldly sight at all, and may he merit the holiness of the Seven Shepherds in the ultimate perfection, beyond which there is no perfection.
I have come to You, Merciful and Gracious One, I, Your maidservant, the daughter of Your maidservant, with weeping and supplications, and with a torn and boiling heart. Please, Merciful and Gracious One, from Whom nothing is hidden, You are able to act in the blink of an eye to transform all the evil nature of my body into a pure and pristine body, into a holy body, just like the bodies of Adam and Eve before the sin. Full of Mercy, I have asked a difficult thing, but for You, nothing in the world is too difficult or wondrous. And I believe in Your immense wonders, Your awesome goodness, Your abundant kindnesses, and Your great mercies, that it is Your true will that I entreat and beg You day and night for the future of my life and the future of my children. May they merit to be born from a pure and pristine body, like the bodies of Adam and Eve before eating from the Tree of Knowledge, which shone like two suns from one end of the world to the other. Merciful and Gracious One, from Whom no purpose can be withheld, I know that I have corrupted my deeds and my thoughts from the day I gained awareness until this very day, from all previous incarnations, and especially in this incarnation. Nevertheless, I have staked my support upon Your Thirteen Attributes of Mercy and upon Your infinite kindnesses, which reach even a filthy worm like me. For it is Your true will to show all the angels on high, and all the Seraphim, Erelim, and Chashmalim, that a lowly creature like me can transform her body from completely evil to completely good, to uproot and eradicate from it all the bitter lusts. My soul has "drunk and drained the dregs of the cup of trembling," and I yearn to transform the fire of lusts into a holy fire of infinite longing for You: "My soul yearns, indeed it pines, for the courtyards of Hashem; my heart and my flesh sing joyously to the living God." By the power and merit of Your true tzaddikim who were in every generation, and by the power of the Seven Shepherds, and by the power of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the holy Ari zt"l, the holy Baal Shem Tov, and our holy Rebbe Nachman, and by the power and merit of Your infinite mercies that reach even me—may I merit to align with Your true will at every moment and second. May every movement and thought of mine be only according to Your true will, until I merit pure and pristine Ruach HaKodesh (Divine Inspiration), and the holy Shechinah (Divine Presence) speaks from my throat. Please, Merciful and Gracious One, I know that I have no hope of meriting all this except through the power and merit of the true tzaddikim who were in every generation, who refined and purified their bodies with the ultimate refinement and purity, in the ultimate perfection beyond which there is no perfection, until their bodies shone like the sun from one end of the world to the other. Their power and merit are sufficient for me as well, and their mercy reaches even me, for there is no end to their compassion for mortals sunken in the mire of their lusts. Their merit is sufficient for me, for all my descendants until the end of all generations, and for the entire nation of Israel, to grant us true and eternal good. Help us: "Help us for the sake of the glory of Your Name, and save us, and atone for our sins for Your Name's sake." "Save me for the sake of Your kindness." "I spread out my hands to You; my soul is like a weary land to You, Selah." Master of the Universe, I know that millions of years would not be enough for me to transform my body from evil to good, to cleanse and refine my body from every lust, until I merit to hate lusts with a deadly hatred—more than one hates Nazis, terrorists, and all the enemies of Israel. For only this evil thing is our undoing, and only from the power of this terrible impurity do new enemies of Israel, new Nazis, and cruel terrorists spring up in every generation, killing us on every side. All the spirits of impurity created by our impurities impregnate themselves into the garments of the enemies of Israel, and they are created from this terrible impurity. And if there is even one person who merits to overcome this terrible impurity, he will merit to remove all the spirit of impurity from the earth and to save all mortals from this terrible flaw, which came about solely as a result of eating from the Tree of Knowledge, since which time this terrible impurity and filth descended to the world. Have pity on me, Full of Mercy, and fulfill the verse that is written: "Leaping over the mountains" and bounding "over the hills." Grant me the merit to bound and leap over all the millions of years that I need to pass through, and the millions of incarnations my body must undergo to be purified and refined from this terrible impurity. For You are Almighty and no purpose can be withheld from You, and it is Your true will that I be purified from all impurity already in this incarnation. For my desire is fierce to hate lusts with all the hatreds in the world, and to leap, bound, and completely free myself from this impurity, until I merit to be literally like a stone, without any sensation. As it is written, "And you shall look upon the birthstool (lit. stones)." For the righteous women who were in Egypt all merited to be literally like stones, and therefore Pharaoh knew that no Sitra Achra (forces of impurity) could defeat them. Miriam and Yocheved, whose entire lives were literally like stones, merited that when Pharaoh sent messengers to kill them, they merited to become houses, as it is written, "And He made houses for them." The Midrash HaGadol explains that they turned into walls, for they never felt any physical sensation in this matter at all, and they merited to be like Adam and Eve before the sin. Through this, Yocheved merited to draw down the wondrous soul about whom it is said, "And she saw him, that he was good," and the entire house was filled with light. This soul never saw this physical world and had no sensation in the matters of this world. Through this, she merited to sanctify all the air of the world with the Clouds of Glory, the Manna, and the Quail. And Miriam turned into a source of living waters for all generations, as it is written, "Water wears away stones." Because she merited to be literally a stone, she merited the Well of Miriam, to reveal that same stone which is the root of the water for all generations. May I merit to be like Yocheved and Miriam, who built the House of Israel and the House of David. Through my becoming sanctified and purified, and being clean of any sensation, literally like a stone, may I merit the soul of Mashiach ben David, about which it is said, "From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel," which will also be literally like a stone. And in this merit, may it bring the complete Geulah (Redemption) to the Nation of Israel.
