May it be will Your Will Lord Our God and God of our ancestors, who hears prayer of His People Israel in compassion, (the prayers) they awaken Your compassion and Your kindness upon us for Your sake, and prepares our hearts to pray before You with a complete heart and soul, and that our prayers should be regular in our mouths always, and there should not be any impediment, obstruction, or confusion in our prayers. Master of the Universe, "O shepherd of Israel who leads Joseph like a flock! You who are enthroned on the cherubim, (Cause to) Appear to us in Your great compassion Your holy light that draws on us holiness and purity, in order that we can compel, subdue, and break our evil inclination, and we should merit in Your abundant compassion and great kindness, that our children and us will guard the holy covenant, and help us always, and save us in Your all-encompassing compassion and great kindness from all types of damages of the covenant italic Chas V'Shalom, whether in thought, speech or deed, whether by mistake or intention, whether compelled by force or through desire, whether through the sense of sight, hearing, or all other senses. Through all of these let us be holy and pure in the holiness of the covenant without any damage or passing thought. For in Your great compassion You chose us from all nations, and elevate us from all languages, and separated us from all their impurities and from their abhorrences, as You wrote to us in Your Torah, "I have set you apart from other peoples to be Mine." (Lev. 20:26) And You call us Tzaddikim as is written: "And Your nation are all Tzaddikim" (Isaiah 60:21)

רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, נוֹהֵג כַּצֹּאן יוֹסֵף יוֹשֵׁב הַכְּרוּבִים הוֹפִיעָה עָלֵינוּ בְּרַחֲמֶיךָ הָרַבִּים אוֹר קְדֻשָּׁתֶךָ שֶׁיֻּמְשַׁךְ עָלֵינוּ קְדֻשָּׁה וְטָהֳרָה, בְּאֹפֶן שֶׁנּוּכַל לָכוֹף וּלְהַכְנִיעַ וּלְשַׁבֵּר אֶת יִצְרֵנוּ הָרָע,

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Please, in Your great compassion, do not make Your Holy Torah an empty document, chas v'shalom, for Your words are true and everlasting. Therefore, make for us in Your compassion, and help us, that we will truly be amongst Tzadikim in order that we merit to be of those who guard the covenant. In order that just by that alone it will be fitting for us to be called by the name "Tzaddkim" just as you made known to us through the teaching of Your holy sages, that only someone who guards the covenant is called "Tzaddik". Therefore, just as You helped Yosef, your Tzaddik, in the hour that he came to be tested, and You saved him and gave him strength to overcome his inclination, so too, arouse from Your body and Your compassion on us, and cause us to merit with merit, and the strength of Yosef the Tzaddik, and give us wisdom, experience, discernment, knowledge, strength, and power of holiness, so that we can be saved from all types of damages to the covenant and we can overcome our inclination. May we merit that our thoughts be connected and attached to Your holiness always without a moment of interruption. So that we will have strength, by virtue of this (through purifying ourselves and guarding the covenant), to appropriately order our prayers before You without any inhibitions, delays or confusion. In the way that You should accept our prayer before You, and arouse Your compassion upon us, and return Your face to us. And quicken us to our redemption and bring to us our righteous Moshiach, do it for Your sake and not ours. Help us that our prayers will be ordered as is proper, and give to us wisdom and knowledge that we will be able to use judgement to measure our words. And we will not stumble in the words of our mouths, and our prayers will not be tilted to the right or left from the straight and true path. And cause us to merit in Your great mercy to give Tzedaka to appropriately poor people. And cause us to have a lot of money and poor people to merit it (money). "Mighty king who loves justice, it was You who established equity, You who worked righteous judgment, in Jacob." (Psalms 99:4) Because everything comes from You and from Your hand we have given to You. Maker of Tzedakah, with everyone You deal justly/righteously, You cause us to merit in Your mercy to included among the doers of Tzedakah. And remove the wickedness from our hearts that we will merit to give Tzedakah joyously with kind faces, and our hearts will have no bad feelings in giving it. Surely open our hands not only to give to a poor or desolate person what is sufficient for their lacking. Let my heart go out to the hungry and clothe the naked.

You helped Yoseph the Tzaddik when he was tested: You saved him and gave him the strength to overcome his evil inclination. In the same way, arouse Your compassion for me. Through the merit and strength of Yoseph, give me intelligence, wisdom, understanding and knowledge, holy strength and power, so that I will be able to avoid all impurity in my life and conquer my impulses and inclinations. Let my thoughts be bound and attached to Your holiness at all times, without a single moment's interruption.

Through purifying myself and observing the Covenant, enable me to offer You my prayers in the proper manner, without inhibitions, restraints and confusion. Accept my prayers and arouse Your love for me. Turn to us again and quickly redeem us and send our righteous Mashiach. Do it for Your sake and not for ours. Help me to order my prayers properly. Grant me intelligence and understanding, and let me use judgement to measure my words, so as not to stumble in what I say, or stray left or right from the straight, true path when I pray.

On the contrary, the Tzaddikim in every generation most certainly lift up our every prayer and put each one in its proper place, building out of them, as it were, the structure of the Shekhinah. Eventually the entire structure will be completed, and then the Mashiach will come and bring the work to perfection and raise the Shekhinah completely.

My prayers may be far from perfect. There may be much about them that is not right. There may not even be a single word or letter that is pure and clean. My words are very muddled and what I say is full of mistakes. I do not speak with the proper concentration and awareness, and my words are far from where my thoughts are.

Even so, Your love and kindness are overwhelming: give Your true Tzaddikim the power to lift up and elevate all my prayers and cleanse and purify them from all blemishes and impurities. Let my prayers rise up and find favor before You, and let the Tzaddikim use them to build the structure of the Shekhinah, to prepare Her, support Her, and lift Her out of her exile. Raise up the fallen Tabernacle of David through our prayers, and return Your Divine Presence — the Shekhinah — to Zion, and shine Your face upon us.

וְתָאִיר פָּנֶיךָ אֵלֵינוּ, פְּנֵה אֵלַי וְחָנֵּנִי. כִּי לֹא בְקַשְׁתִּי אֶבְטָח וְחַרְבִּי לֹא תוֹשִׁיעֵנִי. רַק בְּשִׁמְךָ לְבַד בָּטָחְנוּ. בֵּאלֹהִים הִלַּלְנוּ כָּל הַיּוֹם וְשִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם נוֹדֶה סֶּלָה.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
“Turn to me and show me favor, for I do not put my trust in my bow, and my sword will not save me.” Only in Your Name do we put our trust. “For God alone do we have praise all day, and we give thanks to Your Name for ever!”

וּתְעוֹרֵר אֶת מְשִׁיחַ צִדְקֵנוּ שֶׁיְּקַבֵּל אֶת תְּפִלָּתֵנוּ וְיַעֲלֶה אוֹתָם לְפָנֶיךָ, וְכָל תְּפִלֹּתֵינוּ וּתְפִלּוֹת עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל, יִהְיוּ בְּיָדוֹ לְחֶרֶב פִּיפִיּוֹת, לְמַחְסֶה וּלְמָגֵן וְצִנָּה, לִלְחוֹם אֶת לוֹחֲמֵנוּ וְלָרִיב אֶת רִיבֵנוּ. יָחֹס עַל דַּל וְאֶבְיוֹן וְנַפְשׁוֹת אֶבְיוֹנִים יוֹשִׁיעַ. הַחֲזֵק מָגֵן וְצִנָּה וְקוּמָה בְּעֶזְרָתִי. חֲגוֹר חַרְבְּךָ עַל יָרֵךְ גִּבּוֹר הוֹדְךָ וַהֲדָרֶךָ.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Arouse our righteous Mashiach to receive our prayers and lift them up before You. Let my prayers and those of all Your people Israel be a double-edged sword in his hand to protect and shield us, to fight those who fight against us and to champion our cause. “He takes pity on the poor and needy and saves the souls of the needy.” “Take hold of shield and armor and stand up to help me. Gird your sword on your thigh, mighty warrior, your majesty and your splendor.”

וּלְמַעַנְךָ עֲשֵׂה וְלֹא לָנוּ. כִּי גַם מְעַט דִּמְעַט מַעֲשֵׂינוּ הַטּוֹבִים וְכָל צִדְקוֹתֵינוּ וּתְפִלָּתֵנוּ הַכֹּל מֵאִתְּךָ, כִּי מִמְּךָ הַכֹּל וּמִיָּדְךָ נָתַנּוּ לָךְ. וּכְמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב, מִי הִקְדִּימַנִי וַאֲשַׁלֵּם. לֹא לָנוּ יְהֹוָה לֹא לָנוּ כִּי לְשִׁמְךָ תֵּן כָּבוֹד עַל חַסְדְּךָ וְעַל אֲמִתֶּךָ. כְּחַסְדְּךָ חַיֵּנִי וְאֶשְׁמְרָה עֵדוּת פִּיךָ. וְקַיֵּם לָנוּ מִקְרָא שֶׁכָּתוּב, לְמַעַן שְׁמִי אַאֲרִיךְ אַפִּי וּתְהִלָּתִי אֶחֱטָם לָךְ. לְמַעֲנִי לְמַעֲנִי אֶעֱשֶׂה כִּי אֵיךְ יֵחָל וּכְבוֹדִי לְאַחֵר לֹא אֶתֵּן. מַגְדִּיל יְשׁוּעוֹת מַלְכּוֹ וְעוֹשֶׂה חֶסֶד לִמְשִׁיחוֹ לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעוֹ עַד עוֹלָם. אָמֵן סֶלָה:

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Do it for Your sake and not for ours — for even our few good deeds, our charity and our prayers are all from You. “For everything is from You, and from Your hand we have given to You.” Thus it is written, “Who came before Me that I should pay them?” “Not to us, HaShem, not to us, but to Your Name give glory for Your kindness and Your truth.” “In Your abundant kindness, give me life that I may guard the testimony of Your mouth.” Fulfil for us the verse: “For My sake, for My sake I will do it, for how could I let My Name be dishonored: I will not give My glory to another.” “He magnifies the salvation of His king and does loving kindness to His annointed — to David and his descendants for ever.” Amen. Selah.
