Raising Fear to Its Source / Making God’s Name Whole A person must not fall prey to the superficial fears of this-worldly matters. Instead, he should realize that intrinsically, they have no power to frighten him. He should raise his fear to its root — that is, he should turn his fear to God. Ultimately, he should no longer need to inspire himself to feel fear by contemplating frightening, this-worldly matters. Instead, he should feel the fear of God directly. One can attain the fear of God by coming close to true Tzaddikim, who are the treasure house of fear of Heaven. Then he attains blessings, compassion, life and peace, an abundance of children, sustenance, wealth, honor and everything good — materially and spiritually, in this world and in the World to Come — so that he will never stumble and never be ashamed. When people attain supernal fear and their deeds are perfected, God’s Name becomes whole. In the end, all people will return to God and serve Him with great fear. Fear of God Alone HaShem, You are our God and God of our fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob. You are the great, mighty and awesome God. Have compassion on us and draw Your holy fearfulness and awesomeness onto us.
Guard me and rescue me from every type of fallen, superficial fear. May I never fear anything in the world — neither wild beasts nor thieves, corrupt officials nor wicked people, or anything else that people usually fear.
Guard me and rescue me from all of these so that I will not fear them at all. Instead, when I meet them, may I realize swiftly and immediately the ultimate truth that they have no power to frighten me, unless fear from above has fallen into them and been clothed in them.
Lift me up, level by level, until I reach supernal fear so completely that I no longer need to draw supernal fear upon myself by contemplating the fear of lower things.
May I be aroused on my own to feel total fear of You. Increase my wisdom, understanding and knowledge in great holiness, until I will attain complete supernal fear as a result of contemplating Your greatness and exaltedness.
“Who does not fear You, King of the nations? This is fitting for You, because among all the sages of the nations and in the midst of all their sovereignty, none is like You.” “There is none like You, HaShem. You are great and Your Name is great in might.” “God is dreaded in the great council of the mighty ones, and He awesomely transcends all those who surround Him.”
You Who are filled with compassion, great and awesome God, give me truly complete fear — the fear of punishment and the fear of Your exaltedness — with complete, ultimate holiness.
Help me and save me swiftly. May Your fear be upon my face so that I will no longer commit any sins at all. “If I have acted sinfully, I will no longer do so.” May I no longer return to foolishness.
Tzaddikim are the Treasure House of Fear of Heaven In Your great compassion, help me, my children, and all the children of Your nation, the House of Israel, come close to true Tzaddikim, who are the treasure house of fear of Heaven, for they are filled with fear, awe and dread of You. Help me come close to them, until through them, I am able to attain holy and pure fear, lower fear and supernal fear, and rise ever higher with ultimate perfection.
With the help of Your compassion, may I break and nullify all obstacles — whether from human beings, near and far, great and small, or whether from my mind, due to money issues or to other difficulties and exertions — all types of obstacles and confusions.
Compassionate and righteous God, You are mighty and awesome. You know the powerful, holy fear that the true Tzaddikim attained as a result of serving You, their toil and self-sacrifice on Your behalf.
Have compassion on me for their sake. Pour their holy and wondrous fear onto me so that I will attain ongoing, complete fear of You. May Your fear be upon my face so that I will no longer sin and I will return to You in truth and with a full heart.
Have compassion on me for the sake of Your Name. Help me always yearn to come close to true Tzaddikim and those who fear You, until I strengthen my desire and will to break every kind of obstacle in the world.
As a result of these obstacles, difficulties and troubles, may I come close to true Tzaddikim. As a result of that, may I become a holy and pure vessel to receive an abundance of goodness and blessing for me and for the entire House of Israel.
A World Filled with Fear of God Awesome and elevated Master of the world, filled with compassion, answer me. Quickly grant me true, complete fear of You.
You are holy and Your Name is awesome. The entire host of Heaven grovels and trembles in fear of Your Name. Seraphim, chayot, holy ophanim and all the awesome angels shiver in fear of Your exalted glory, and all of them act with fear, in awe of Your will.
“HaShem, when I heard Your message, I feared. HaShem, revive Your people in these years. In these years, make it known that even in anger, You remember to be compassionate.”
Fill us with fear, You Who are so compassionate. Fill us with fear, You Who are so awesome and magnificent. Fill us with fear, God of all the Tzaddikim who are the root of fear.
HaShem our God, place Your fearfulness upon all Your creatures and Your awe upon all that You made, so that they will all fear You. Then all created beings will bow to You, and they will all form one assembly to do Your will with a full heart.
Holy and awesome God, save me and help me attain everything that I have sought from You. Fill me with true, complete fear of You, until I bring You pleasure and great joy.
As a result of that, send me generous abundance, blessings, compassion, life and peace, an abundance of children, sustenance, wealth, honor and everything good — materially and spiritually, in this world and in the World to Come — so that I will never stumble and never be ashamed.
Quickly raise us ever higher until we attain an ultimately complete supernal fear. Then may our deeds be greatly perfected before You, until we make Your great and holy Name whole always with ultimate perfection, in accordance with Your good will.
May Your Name be expanded forever. May all people return to You and serve You with great fear. “They will give thanks to Your great and awesome Name; it is holy.”
Swiftly may the verse be realized, “The land will give its produce; may God, our God, bless us; may God bless us and may the ends of the earth fear Him.”
“Blessed is HaShem, God, God of Israel, Who alone does wonders. And blessed is the Name of His glory forever, and may His glory fill the entire earth. Amen and amen.”

Swiftly may the verse be realized, “The land will give its produce; may God, our God, bless us; may God bless us and may the ends of the earth fear Him.”
וְנֶאֱמַר, וְיִירְאוּ גוֹיִם אֶת שֵׁם יְהֹוָה וְכָל מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ אֶת כְּבוֹדֶךָ. וְנֶאֱמַר, כִּי יְהֹוָה עֶלְיוֹן נוֹרָא מֶלֶךְ גָּדוֹל עַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ.
“Nations will fear the Name of HaShem, and all kings of the earth Your glory.” “HaShem is supernal, awesome; the King is great over all the earth.”
יִהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן אִמְרֵי־פִי וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי לְפָנֶיךָ יְהֹוָה צוּרִי וְגוֹאֲלִי.
“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing before You, HaShem, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
וַאֲנִי בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבוֹא בֵיתֶךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל הֵיכַל קָדְשְׁךָ בְּיִרְאָתֶךָ.
“In Your vast kindness, I will come to Your house; I will bow to Your holy palace in fear of You.”
בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עֹשֵׂה נִפְלָאוֹת לְבַדּוֹ. וּבָרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹדוֹ לְעוֹלָם וְיִמָּלֵא כְבוֹדוֹ אֶת כָּל הָאָרֶץ אָמֵן וְאָמֵן:
“Blessed is HaShem, God, God of Israel, Who alone does wonders. And blessed is the Name of His glory forever, and may His glory fill the entire earth. Amen and amen.”
