A Prayer For Livelihood
May it be Your Will, L-rd our G-d, that my
provisions and my livelihood, and the provisions
and livelihood of my household, be encompassing,
appropriate and virtuous in Your hands. May we
never be in need of the gifts of man nor of their
loans, but only of Your hand which is full, open,
holy, and generous. And may my work and all my
dealings be blessed and not destitute, for life and
not for death. And may I merit that no desecration
of the Name of Heaven occur through me, and that
I may be among the charitable and those that
influence for good to everyone at all times, and fill
my hand with Your blessings and satiate me of Your
goodness. For You are blessed and bring blessings
to the universe. The eyes of all look expectedly to
You, and You give them all their food in its proper
time. You open Your hand, and satisfy the desire of
every living being. Cast your burden upon the L-rd,
and He will sustain you; He will never allow the
falling of the righteous. Please lift my strength and
raise my fortune in order that I will be able to serve
You whole-heartedly all the days of the world.
Amen.
