Prayer

„There are things that impede prayer, and one who imagines that all these are in his own hands and...”From Shemonah Kevatzim VIII, 60

We pray every day. Some in traditional prayer, some in the service of the heart. The power of prayer is to change reality and to open gates. It builds within us new levels and opens worlds for us, and thus it is realized. True, we do not always see the fulfillment and success of all our prayers. But one who prays, and believes in the power of prayer, succeeds in changing reality. If not in the direct objects of his prayer, then through other gates for him, and for the whole world.
