Question
Hello, Is it permissible for a person to offer a prayer and say: 'May it be Your will' and God's Name for a personal blessing?
Answer
Hello
According to the basic law, one can say God's Name, and in many books, prayers have been composed without an earlier source, in which God's Name is mentioned. For example, in the works of the Ramchal, Shlah, Hemdat Yamim, and others.
In practice, as observed today, customs differ on this matter. Among Ashkenazim, it is customary to avoid this, while among Sephardim, it is customary to permit it.
