What to Say
Ask for a new spiritual beginning.
Rebbe Nachman began each day by asking G-d to guide him in doing His will.
"This way," he would say, "I have no worries. I rely on G-d."
Start your day by asking that everything go according to
G-d's plan, that you act in accordance with G-d's desire for you. Pray, beg, beseech G-d to bring you closer, to come close to you, to reveal more light in the world, to increase your faith and break your bad habits.
Ask for your material needs.
One must pray for everything! Although the main thing to pray for is closeness to G-d, still you must pray for all your needs: good health, success and livelihood, family & friends, even a new button for your coat. Trust that G-d will provide you with everything you need if you ask for it, and if it is according to G-d's desire for you. It is often easier to speak
intensely from the heart for our material needs. If you feel embarassed that you are pleading so much for material things, eventually you will pray for the spiritual, too.
Ask for peace in the world and the end of suffering.
Ask G-d to bring healing and peace to the world.
Pray for the hastening of the Messianic Era when pain
and suffering will cease, and heaven and earth will unite.
Speak to G-d about what the World-to-Come will be like
and ask the Master of the universe to show you your part
in bringing it about. If you feel your life is pretty good the way it is and you don't really need anything, don't forget
to ask G-d to ease the suffering of others.
Begin and end with thanksgiving and praise.
Think of everything about which you can feel grateful
and thank G-d for all of the blessings in your life and in the world. Each day, out-do yourself in words of praise of the Creator. [Try a few out on your family, too, and see if your home life doesn't improve!]
