s2021:
I just noticed your post about seemingly “ignored” prayers.
I recall once crying thru the whole tehillim before a crucial court date…and being so utterly traumatized by what actually occurred! In fact,the shock had me so dazed,I almost crossed the street outside the courthouse on a red light.
It took a while until I picked up that tehillim again,I almost felt like the heavens were mocking my tefillos,chas v’sholom.
Of course,that was not the case–the heavens were probably crying right along with me.
I eventually realized that I don’t have to “finish the whole tehillim” in one shot,but TEHILLIM IS THE GREATEST SOURCE OF COMFORT FROM WHICH NO THINKING PERSON SHOULD EVER DEPRIVE HIM/HERSELF.
Why those tefillos didn’t do EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED THEM TO DO?
I will find out one day…
