Prayer for Sweetening Judgment and Receiving Divine Guidance

(Inspired by the teachings of Gate of Reincarnations: Chapter Twenty-Six, Section 4)

Ribbono Shel Olam, Master of the Universe,You arranged the upper worlds with perfect wisdom, revealing that Yaakov unites with Rachel and Leah in different holy moments to bring light and mercy into creation. These unions draw chasadim and gevurot from Abba, sweetening harshness and guiding the flow of blessing. Please let these spiritual lights touch my life so that I too may experience clarity, gentleness, and holy guidance.

You revealed that Yaakov with Rachel represents a zivug with fewer judgments, shaped only by the five chasadim and five gevurot of Abba. This zivug shines with a balanced light that brings order and peace. Please allow my heart to receive this balance so that I can walk with steadiness and kindness in all I do.

The level of this zivug was embodied by Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi, who organized the Mishnah and brought unity to Torah for all generations. His students carried drops of chesed and gevurah that flowed from his yesod, demonstrating how holy teachings spread from soul to soul. Please let me be guided by Torah in the same way, receiving direction from its wisdom and sharing its light with others.

You taught that the zivug of Yaakov with Leah after chatzot carries even greater sweetness, for the dinim become softened by the rising mercy of the night. After midnight, Yaakov extends through the entire stature of Zeir Anpin, allowing blessing to reach deeper places. Please sweeten any harshness in my life and transform it into healing, growth, and compassion.

Within this holy union, there is also the moment of kadruta d’tzafra, the dawn darkness, which holds gentleness even greater than chatzot. At this moment Yaakov and Leah unite again, drawing out two especially elevated drops of chesed and gevurah. Please let my soul learn from this that even in the moments before light, mercy is already awakening and approaching.

You revealed that before chatzot, Yaakov and Leah stand higher, protruding from the chest of Zeir Anpin, but after chatzot they lengthen to the full measure of their spiritual form. This teaches that different stages of life carry different forms of guidance, and each one contributes to the whole. Please help me trust the timing of my journey and recognize that You guide me in every stage.

Within this zivug, there are four inner unions but they are all part of one great flow of light. From them emerge twenty-four drops, each rooted in a yesod that extends outward and supports the next. Please help me understand that my own growth also comes in stages, yet all of them are parts of a single purpose that You have designed for me.

Master of Mercy, allow the sweetened gevurot of Yaakov to soften any inner judgments that trouble me. Transform worry into trust, confusion into clarity, and heaviness into hope. Let me feel Your guidance flowing through my life like the chasadim that shine from the highest places.

Ribbono Shel Olam, please guide me to stand face to face with my true self, just as the partzufim stand face to face after chatzot. Grant me the courage to release old fears and to welcome the dawn of new beginnings. Help me move forward with faith, knowing that Your mercy surrounds me in every hour of the night and every step of the day.

Amen.
