We all have things we really want in life. Not the frivolous things that we think we want. I am talking about our real desires; the unique dream of our soul. The life wishes we seek to fulfill—and hopefully work toward manifesting each day.

What are those things for you? What is it you ask for when you pray?

When I travel to Israel, I visit the sites of the kabbalists and pray for as many people as possible. I have a very long list of those who have contacted me asking that I pray for their family, their friends or themselves. Some are without work and looking for a job, while others are hoping to find a husband or wife. There are those who need money to keep a roof over their head, and some who are so depressed they want just to be able to get out of bed in the morning.

When I pray for them, I pray not only that they will have these things, but that they will have so much more.

I don’t just ask the Creator to find my friend a husband. I ask that she find her soul mate. I ask that the soldier suffering from depression not merely get out of bed tomorrow morning, but that every morning he wakes up with a renewed sense of awe, appreciation and childlike wonder for the world. I pray that the hungry child not just be fed, but that she grows up to become rich in all areas of life.

After all, we’re talking about the Creator here! Why limit our desires to settle for anything less than everything?

It’s a great trick of the Opponent actually, to make us believe that we only deserve the minimum. Someone without work is more likely to look for any job than to seek out their dream job! When we have nothing, we’re ready to settle for anything. And ironically, these are the exact places where we’re meant to have so much more.

We are meant to have everything.

You know how they say, “Shoot for the stars?”

Well, there’s another saying that when you shoot for the Heavens, you get the stars thrown in.

If we desire greater things and remain steadfast in our spiritual work of transformation, I believe we can have it all.

Let’s turn up the wattage on our desire and start doing whatever it takes to turn on the Light we are meant to manifest in the world.

All the best,
