A Prayer for Happiness in Life
Master of the Universe, compassionate and gracious G-d, You who fills all worlds with Your kindness and sustains every soul with Your mercy, I come before You with a humble heart, pleading for the gift of true happiness in my life. You alone know the depths of my soul, the twists of my thoughts, and the burdens that weigh upon me. Please, O G-d of all comfort, shine Your holy light into my being and awaken within me a spirit of joy that flows from Your eternal goodness.
O Holy blessed One, who created me to serve You in gladness, grant me the strength to rise above the darkness that sometimes clouds my days. Remove from me all sadness, despair, and confusion, and fill my heart with the sweetness of Your presence. Let me taste the delight of Your Torah and the beauty of Your commandments, so that my soul may dance in the joy of knowing You. Help me, my G-d, to see Your hand in every moment—to find happiness in the small blessings, in the breath of life You renew within me, and in the opportunities You place before me to draw close to You.
Merciful Father, I beg You, renew my spirit as You renew the world each day. Let my life be a song of gratitude, a melody of trust in Your endless love. Teach me to rejoice in Your will, even amidst trials, for I know that every step is guided by Your wisdom. Draw me near to the wellsprings of salvation, to the teachings of Your righteous servants, and let their light illuminate my path so that I may live with a heart full of hope and contentment.
Please, O G-d, King of all creation, let this happiness spill forth from me to others—may my joy be a vessel for Your glory, bringing peace to my home, warmth to those I meet, and healing to a weary world. Guard me from bitterness and doubt, and plant within me a steadfast faith that Your goodness will never forsake me. May my days be sweetened by Your compassion, and may I merit to live a life of purpose and delight, praising You with every breath.
Hear my prayer, O Listener of all cries, and accept these words with mercy. Let them rise before Your throne of glory, and in Your infinite kindness, fulfill my request for a life of happiness, rooted in Your truth and crowned with Your peace. Blessed You, who hears the pleas of the broken and lifts them to joy everlasting.
