Response to Prayer

Hear our voice, Adonoy, our God; spare us and have compassion on us, and accept our prayers compassionately and willingly, for You are Almighty Who hears prayers and supplications; and do not turn us away empty-handed from Your Presence, our King, for You hear the prayers of Your people, Israel, with compassion. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Who hears prayers.

The last of the intermediate benedictions petitions God to answer all our preceding prayers.

At this point, the worshiper may add any private petition, and ask God’s help for himself, for his household, or for his community.

On Fast days during Mincha, the following petition is added here:

Answer us, Adonoy, answer us on the day of our fasting, for we are in great trouble. Do not regard our wickedness, do not conceal Your countenance from us, and do not be unmindful of our supplication. Please be near to our cry, let Your loving kindness console us. Even before we call unto You, answer us, as it is said: “And it shall come to pass that before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking, I will hear. For You, Adonoy, are the One Who answers in time of trouble, Who redeems and rescues in all times of trouble and distress.

Isaiah 65:24.

for You hear the prayers of Your people, Israel, with compassion. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Who hears prayers.
