כִּי שְׁתַּיִם רָעוֹת עָשָׂה עַמִּי אֹתִי עָזְבוּ מְקוֹר מַיִם חַיִּים לַחְצֹב לָהֶם בֹּארוֹת בֹּארֹת נִשְׁבָּרִים אֲשֶׁר לֹא יָכִלוּ הַמָּיִם:
The only way to fix it is actually by annulling on your own to God. That's the total goal of prayer. We start out our prayers with bowing, and we pray with our ft and palms locked, to symbolize that we can't do anything. During the words of Rav Wolbe, “ Prayer and arrogance are an oxymoron.” They don't work collectively. The whole essence of prayer is humility, and with that humility, you receive the correct outlook on daily life. As a result, we should place time in to concentrate on these essential details. Meaning You need to have a little bit interior dialogue with yourself. When You begin praying, and those thoughts come to your mind, It's important to halt by yourself and say, “ Hmm, there you go again. You think that you are in charge. You're thinking that you are making things happen. You don't make factors transpire. God can gradual almost everything down.” You're serious about, “ How am I planning to make the sale?” But Who's going to be certain the boat comes in on time? Who's heading to make certain they pay?” You are not in cost. There's a adorable story Rav Matityahu Salomon explained to in excess of when. He reported, there was a person in England, in which he used to Dwell, who was a cutthroat in company. He was incredibly, really hard. But he prayed a very, really extensive Amidah. Any person (Potentially Rav Matityahu) the moment questioned him, “ Why are you praying for so lengthy? You seem like you really understand how to take care of your company. You might be in control.” He answered , “I pray to Hashem that I understand what I am accomplishing in my enterprise, but I understand You'll be able to destroy every little thing. So be sure to, depart me. Allow me to do my thing.” That is what some people truly feel like. “ I can definitely tackle it. Just, Hashem, Will not mess anything up. Never ruin everything .” But that is a very warped method of considering items. There is absolutely no accomplishment with without having Hashem . If, when our eyes are closed, praying to Hashem, we're unable to target Him, and we are only serious about our methods and our hishtadlut and our routines, that's an indicator that deep down, we think we're building almost everything occur. And as a consequence, it means you have to rethink your method of Who's truly earning issues happen. That is the perform of Kavana, and that's the operate of prayer. Have an excellent day.
– realizing that you could entirely rely upon Hashem, and only on Hashem – is An important Portion of our Chovos HaLevavos

שאותן שהיו בבחינת שנה שהיו כאלמים ממש ולא היו יכולים לדבר כלל שום דבור שבקדושה, נתעוררין עכשו משנתם ומתחילים לדבר בכח גדול, ועל ידי הדבור נתחזק הבטחון ועל ידי זה נפקדין העקרות וזוכין ליראה.
