What do you truly want Hashem to give you this year?

During Rosh Chodesh Elul, we enter one of the most powerful periods of the Jewish year—a time of Teshuvah, mercy, forgiveness, prayer, and preparation for Rosh Hashanah.

But there is a deeper question we need to ask before we begin praying:

Are the things we want actually good for us?

In “Fulfill All Hearts’ Desire for Good,” Sharone Lankry explores the profound prayer:

“A life in which You fulfill all the desires of our heart for good.”

Why do we need to add the words “for good”? If we desire something, don’t we naturally believe it is good?

The answer can completely change the way we approach Elul.

Sometimes we pray desperately for money, marriage, success, opportunities, children, a new home, or countless other blessings—but only Hashem knows whether what we are requesting will ultimately bring us closer to our purpose or further away from it.

Elul teaches us to mature our prayers. We can ask Hashem for physical abundance, but we should also ask that our physical blessings become tools for spiritual success: money to give Tzedakah and support Torah, a home in which to build a Jewish family, children who will bring more light into the world, and success that allows us to serve Hashem at an even greater level.

We don't have to choose between physical and spiritual blessing. We can ask for both—but with the right purpose.

This Elul, before Rosh Hashanah arrives, take the time to realign your desires, examine what you are praying for, and add one essential request:

Hashem, fulfill the desires of my heart—but only if they are truly for my ultimate good.
