8/3/2019 Prayer One

1/1

O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto Thee. O Lord God Almighty,who has reigned before the beginning of the Ages, and Who by Thine Infinite Wisdom,hast created the heavens, the earth, and the sea, and all that in them is, all that isvisible, and all that is invisible by a single word; I praise Thee, I bless Thee, I adoreThee, I glorify Thee, and I pray Thee now at the present time to be merciful unto me,

a miserable sinner, for I am the work of Thine hands. Save me, and direct me by ThyHoly Name, Thou to Whom nothing is difficult, nothing is impossible; and deliver mefrom the night of mine ignorance, and enable me to go forth therefrom. Enlighten mewith a spark of Thine Infinite Wisdom. Take away from my senses the desire ofcovetousness, and the iniquity of mine idle words. Give unto me, Thy servant, a wiseunderstanding, penetrating and subtle heart, to acquire and comprehend all Sciencesand Arts; give unto me capacity to hear, and strength of memory to retain them, sothat I may be able to accomplish my desires, and understand and learn all difficult anddesirable Sciences; and also that I may be able to comprehend the hidden secrets ofthe Holy Writings. Give me the virtue to conceive them, so that I may be able to bringforth and pronounce my words with patience and humility, for the instruction of others,

as Thou hast ordered me.O God, the Father, All Powerful and All Merciful, who hast created all things, whoknowest and conceivest them universally, and to Whom nothing is hidden, nothing isimpossible; I entreat Thy Grace for me and for Thy servants, because Thou seest andknowest well that we perform not this work to tempt Thy Strength and Thy Power asif in doubt thereof, but rather that we may know and understand the truth of all hiddenthings. I beseech Thee to have the kindness to be favorable unto us; by ThySplendour, Thy Magnificence, and Thy Holiness, and by Thy Holy, Terrible, andIneffableName IAH, at which the whole world doth tremble, and by the Fear with whichall creatures obey Thee. Grant, O Lord, that we may become responsive unto Thy

Grace, so that through it we may have a full confidence in and knowledge of Thee,and that the Spirits may discover themselves here in our presence, and that thosewhich are gentle and peaceable may come unto us, so that they may be obedient untoThy commands, through Thee, O Most Holy ADONAI, Whose Kingdom is an everlastingKingdom, and whose Empire endureth unto the Ages of the Ages. Amen.
