Reply To: Help with Tefila

Thank you all for advice. I will try the Praying with Fire book.

I am not sure it will help at all though. My best tefilos are those that I say myself. I have a very close relationship with Hashem, its just the formal words mean nothing to me. Hashem doesnt need the praise thats written in there, Hashem doesnt need the structure…I just feel like its a waste.

I obviously wont stop, but its just very frustrating.

As to the easier to pray during hard times than good ones: try keeping this in mind on a human level too! Thank your parents and appreciate them, even when you dont need them (meaning at that moment, not forever).
