“That There Be a Will Above”
It is known that in order to extend abundance from above, one must precede an awakening from below. We must understand why we need an awakening from below. Because of this, we pray that there will be a will above. It means that we must evoke a desire from above to impart below (Baal HaSulam. Article 57. “Will Bring Him Closer to His Will”).
To pray for the awakening of the desire above means to pray that the Creator has a desire to correct us. It should be focused on a person in accordance with his state, position, and character.
Therefore, ask the Creator to change you so that His attitude toward you becomes different and that you would have a desire to bestow to Him.
The Creator enjoys the prayer of the righteous because they begin to correctly assess that He is the giver and doer of good and turn to Him in their desire to ascend.
Question: Can we receive correction through one prayer without going through all the preliminary states?
Answer: No, we cannot go through all the states with one prayer. The Creator divides our states into many parts that are separated from each other, and for each of them we must raise a prayer.
