Ribbono shel olam, O Lord of the worlds, O One and Only, O source of all existence, from whom come light, mercy, life, and blessing: I have stood before You with an attentive heart, submitting and obedient to You, and I have contemplated the sacred letters drawn from the verses of Israel’s deliverance at the sea, to glorify, magnify, and honor Your presence, my Lord, YHWH, and to open my heart to Your will, Your blessing, and Your mercy.
O YHWH, O Adonai Eloheinu Elohim, O HaShem, O Ever-Living One, O Self-Subsisting One, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor, O Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, Shaddai, El Chai, Echad: let Chesed, Your loving-kindness and mercy, flow upon me; let Gevurah set right whatever in my life needs strength, judgment, and discipline; and let them unite in Tiferet, in balanced mercy, beauty, and peace. Purify my heart of fear, despair, greed, and pride; purify my thoughts of illusion and turmoil; and make my intention upright before You. Send down upon me Shefa, the flow of goodness and blessing, and make me a worthy, spacious, blessed vessel to receive it. Always bless my mind, my knowledge, my work, and my striving. Bless my hands in every good deed; always guide my decisions toward the right path; and open before me the doors of broad, abundant, blessed, multiplying provision that holds goodness for me. Make easy for me all the right opportunities, the right partnerships, the right people, the right times, and the doors that no one can close if You will to open them. Whatever lies on my path and is good for me, strengthen it, establish it, and bring it to completion for me. Whatever holds harm, deceit, or loss that I cannot see, turn it away from me and turn me away from it. If what I ask is good for me, bring it near to me in peace, make it easy for me, and grant me Berakhah within it, a true blessing that will never fade. My great God, I do not ask for money merely to accumulate it; I ask for spaciousness after constraint, stability after anxiety, and the ability to build, give, and live with dignity, well-being, health, love, safety, happiness, and peace, always. O YHWH, O Adonai Eloheinu Elohim, O HaShem, O Ever-Living One, O Self-Subsisting One, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor, O Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, Shaddai, El Chai, Echad: give me wisdom to know when to act, strength when I must fight for my goals, patience when I must wait, and insight when a better path lies before me than the one I asked for. Let judgments turn into mercy, hardship into ease, closed doors into useful paths, striving into fruit, knowledge into wisdom, and opportunity into blessing. Yehi ratzon milfaneikha: may this be pleasing before You. YHWH, keep me close to You in prosperity as in hardship, and do not let a blessing take me away from its source. May everything that comes to me be a cause of increasing wisdom, happiness, uprightness, mercy, gratitude, health, well-being, and closeness to You. Yehi or: let there be light. Yehi shalom: let there be peace. Yehi shefa uverakhah: let there be abundance and blessing. Amen.
