קיצור שולחן ערוך סימן לד:סעיף א
שהוא מבקש כל שעה פרנסתו מהקדוש ברוך הוא, וכמו שהוא מבקש שהקדוש ברוך הוא ישמע שועתו ותפלתו, כך ישמע הוא שועת העניים.
A person should always keep in mind the depth of his desire when he pleads before the Holy One Blessed be God. With the same intensity that she wishes that the Holy One Blessed be God will heed her cry, she should heed the call of the poor. [AJWS translation]
