When one faces the King of Kings ‫ פנים אל פנים‬and requests from Him help and salvation, he must first encircle himself with a wall of exclusive focus and concentration on Hashem, together will all the atoms in the universe, and reconnect to the source from where all existence emanated. As he takes his journey to accomplish and to achieve his desires, one must make sure that he never loses sight of his origin in order that his journey will be able to be completed with the same life energy spirit with which he departed in order to draw his circle.
