Torah Sources

• ואם יקשה לו להסירם מדעתו מפני שטורדים דעתו מאד בחזקה אזי ישפיל נפשו לה' ויתחנן לו ית' במחשבתו לרחם עליו ברחמיו המרובים כרחם אב על בנים הנמשכים ממוחו וככה ירחם ה' על נפשו הנמשכת מאתו ית' להצילה ממים הזדונים ולמענו יעשה

From GYE Members

• @YS: Realizing that this is an eis ratzon and using it to Daven, changes the way feel. When a tayva overtakes you feel differently. When I use a tefilla, it helps me change a little bit.

Notes

• Can use the metaphor of תפילת הדרך. Reference sources where this was actually used before going outside...
