I write this in sadness and with honesty cause i can’t believe such a special nation as us klal Yisroel could have reached so low to a level as what I’m about to write.
Today i call our daily davening which is in truth supposed to be on a level of love and thanks to Hashem for everything Hashem has and continues to give his loving children non stop but most of us just daven cause we were told to daven. Do we now at the age of already davening for 50 or somewhat years even know what the words mean in our tefillos throughout the year? A perfect parable example of what i think of our daily davening today is what if i came over to you and told you i want to say thank you to you cause my friend told me i should cause you gave me $20? What would YOU THINK OF THAT THANK YOU? almost worthless and meaningless. Honestly its completely heartless with no feeling and only cause my friend or Rabbi told me i should go thank you. WELL THAT’S WHY MOST OF US DAVEN DAILY cause we were told to daven. Do we know what the words actually mean? Or actually think and have kavana during davening?
If this is sadly our truthful situation then how can we ever expect our tefillos to be answered by our loving father and king of kings Hashem ruler of the entire world and all worlds?
May we all start davening and asking for things with truthfulness and love and then our prayers will be answered with love as we say 3x daily in Ashrei karov Hashem…… Hashem is close to all who call out to him to all those who call out with truth/wholeheartedly
